Whooo says raptors only train for food? Here’s another gem from the “expand your list of reinforcers vault.” Oculus the spectacled owl is a fan of tactile. This means it can be delivered contingently for cooperation in activities such as stepping up and allowing jesses to be applied for participation in educational programming. Nice work from the team at @thesantaanazoo We then went on to train a new behavior I am presenting on at an upcoming conference. #owltraining #owlstepup #nonfoodreinforcers #spectacledowl #ambassadoranimaltraining #educationalanimaltraining #educationanimal #ambassadoranimal (at Santa Ana Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wM4WQHms6/?igshid=1tyic00ug1m3a
