Hi guys, hope your all good and well.
As you know I'm a newbie Parrot owner still but the last few days Xander is really getting used to my hands, he has even started preening them and biting them gently ect and he isn't so scared of them any more.
Should I try now to teach him to step up? and is there a correct way to do this because I have tried but both of us don't really know what to do properly lol.
Also what are your thoughts on clicker training and target training?
I also hear a lot that its important to make training fun and always make things a positive experience but I'm not too sure how to do that, I give him treats when he does things right though as I do understand the positive reinforcement part I just really appreciate you guys input as Xander has come on tremendously since I joined this forum and were both eternally grateful.
Thank you x
