Operant conditioning works on all organisms with a nervous system,
including dolphins, humans, and chickens. Bob and Marion Bailey used
to go around the country running seminars teaching people how to do
it using chickens as the model. Apparently, if your timing is good
enough where you can train a chicken, you can train anything.

Clicker training

Yes, they used to call it click-a-chick workshops. The two of them were
instrumental in setting up the animal training programs in the theme parks
that were in my home town when I was a child, and I got to meet them when
they were visiting one of them that was still there until Katrina hit. They
are fascinating people, if they are still alive. Marion was a grad student
of B.F. Skinner, and Bob had been one of the Navy's early dolphin trainers.
