Here is Zeke teaching one of his toys that he's the boss.

Zeke's favorite food is (first and foremost) chicken.  We try to explain that this isn't....well....proper for him to eat but he doesn't appear to care.  Whenever we have chicken for dinner he does his begging dance until we give in and feed him some.  Then he grabs it in his foot and scarfs it down as fast as he can.  Another favorite is cheese and this is what I've used to train him to do his tricks.  Currently his trick repetoire consists of stepping up or down on command, kissing, shaking hands and (almost) waving.  He also lifts his wing for scritches on command.  I'm going to start working on more complex tricks in the future.
