19 days ago, I adopted Stonewall Jackson-"Jack". I was told he was about 3 years old. He has a vocabulary of about 10 words or phrases. In 19 days, I can put my hands in the cage and he nibbles on them, does not bite. He will eat from my hand and his favorite food in broiled chicken and scrambled egg. He loves to be scratched and will let me pick him up without biting and will come down on my shoulder from top of cage. He will reach out and kiss me.
Yesterday, I bought a table top perch to get him away from the cage. I pick him up and put him on that perch. He will not step up unless forced too. When he does step up he tries to go to my shoulder. Sometimes when I try to get him to stepup he will take flight. Additionally, he is less vocal. What am I doing wrong?
