Those first step ups can be nerve wrecking hope he behaves himself. He's looking good though!

he always tries to nip my hand when I ask him to step up, kinda scary still haha trying hard to teach him not to nip me haha have to distract him with my left hand around his beak hehe
reading some parrot books to see how to tame and train parrots too

What a beautiful baby! I like the napping picture. So cute when they're asleep

Kiwi looks like a very friendly bird

Nice pictures- love the sleeping one haha

He's nipping you because he's still unsure, and he can sense your nervousness- show him a treat, say "step up" while offering your hand, and reward him immediately once he's on your hand. Soon he will understand that getting on your hand is rewarding.

I notice he nips whatever he is going to sit on.. perch, cage, my hand.. I think he just tries to test if the thing he is going to sit on is steady... not sure @.@ I started to clicker train him last night.. he looked so confused tilting his head when I clicked the clicker lol so cute
