Alright guys, I need your wisdom again.
My ekkie is newly-flighted. He is quite capable of flying off his perches or cage top to the general vicinity of his target but his landings are still clumsy. Anyway Im trying to recall train him using what seems to be the consensus method (starting with short distances and gradually increasing).
My problem is that once he needs to do more than just 'hop' onto my hand/t-perch he chickens out, turns his back to me and gives up. I get the impression he's frightened but since he can fly I dont understand what he's scared of. Is he just not confident about landing on the perch/my finger? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
