Hi guys,

How would you start "Step up" training...

I gotta teach Pi everything Rolling Eyes and just wondered how you all started with your
fids...

I don't exactly know it anymore.. But I think I've put a finger under the belly and pushed a little..
When they stepped up, I'd cheer and praise..

I think there also are other ways?
I'd also train them to step up onto a handheld perch.. (Is this a dowel?)

Hi Fi l personally with my birds roll my finger under the belly till they move up ,an repeat that with the next step remembering to roll the finger that you want the bird to move off having the next step ready for the bird which is not rolling to move on to and start again for about 4 steps. Smile
