I have adopted a abused macaw who had chains on his leg and was taken out of his cage by simply ripping the chain out of the cage along him with it. I have rescued him, it has been about 2 months and I have no idea how to teach him. he loves attention and scratches but sometimes he suddenly squeaks and gets scared and bites down hard, but he is getting better and htis is not the issue. He doesnt know how to step up, if i use treats to lure him he only puts 1 leg on me, this has been the same for a month, only way i have been getting him on my shoulder(which he is very happy and playful on my shoulder) is by getting him on a stick and kind of moving it so he has no choice other than to step up on my shoulder if not he will trip.
Online training lessons only tell me to "use treats to teach him to step up" and this is pretty useless. any tips to teach him to step up?
2-3 of his feathers are clipped but he has not trouble flying, just not good at controlling, and dont worry i am going to let it grow back.
