I have a little lovebird who is a little less than a year old, and he is a very nice, tame, and fun birdie :) He's working on pottying on command, and giving lots of praise seems to be working, but I want to be able to give treats too. He is afraid of fruit, for some reason. I bought some yogurty treats at the pet store, but he takes a long time to chew them up. I just want something he can gulp down quickly.
Any suggestions for good training treats that can be eaten up quickly?
Thanks everyone.

I use a little bit of millet :)
I trained my bird to speak on command in about 10 minutes using millet as a reward. Just a tiny piece I cut off the main branch thing :)
I also used It when teaching my bird to fly to my hand when I say come.

This can be quite a time saver if you need your bird/birds to be with you in case of an emergency!

The millet is a good idea. He looooooooooves his millet. :) Thanks.

My lovie doesn't like hemp seeds, but my GCC loooooooves them. And each seed is small enough to be consumed quickly but big enough to hold easily.
