Hi
I am now the proud owner of a green Cheek Corune.I am now to the world of bird ownership and have been doing some internet research. I'm sorry if my question has been answered a thousand times over
Walter is 3 months old and has been handraised. We got him today. we have had a few bites but not many.
I am trying to train him to step on and step off. He will go on my finger only if he is offered a treat. (I have tried a stick but he just runs up it and onto my shoulder which herein lies the problem)
So he steps on and takes the treat and runs upto my shoulder. I cannot then get him down. I can coaxed him down but he wont then get off.
I then have to try and grab him off my shoulder which is hard when he is doing circuits of my neck tryng to avoid my hand. Then when i do get him it is a performance detangling his claws!!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated in particular getting him off my hand and also preventing him from legging it up my arm!
Thanks
Bex
