I was very excited to try recall training with my Blue Crown Conure today. this was the first time trying it and it was awful! I started with just stepping up and then giving a treat all was well but after the fourth step up he stopped taking the treat he would take it and drop it then he stopped stepping up and put his head down so I couldn't get my finger by him and absolutely nothing in the environment or what I was doing changed. I got frustrated after that and had to put him away. I am never doing recall training with him ever again it was not for him, I know he has always been terrified of flying and of anything new he was a rescue so I don't know why this is but he freaks out and only fly when he gets super scared and the after he flies he breaths heavy and just buries himself between my chest and neck. I am very upset right now and cant think of why this went so wrong other than he is so afraid of everything. I really wanted to do this with him maybe one day I will get a bird I can do it with.
