I was recently at an exotic store that did Step Up in a different way with their birds.
Instead of going forward their lower belly/legs to have the birds step up, they had their birds trained to do it from behind. They'd lift their hand up behind the birds, by the feet, and ask for the command.
I've never seen someone do this before. Is there a difference in behavior or something? What would be the point in training it that way? I would think it would make the bird nervous to have you come up and under him...
