He's a five year old African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) who has lived with us since he was four months old. He, like most of my parrots, is flighted and is a pretty good flier, particularly since he did not learn until after he was one year old.
He's always held a strong preference for, well, anyone who isn't me. I've put in several years worth of work and we have finally started a pretty decent relationship. Thanks to some food management (for both his motivation levels and his health), we've really started training a few weeks ago.
Current behaviors that we're working on are generalizing step up (which means step from a perch to my hand) and fly to a specific perch on cue. Currently, he'll step up on my hand pretty well from several different places, and will fly to one specific perch in the downstairs on cue.
