Will be happy to continue to assist you in any way that I can, I just thought that perhaps a little different approach might work better. I am thinking that instead of just what to do, that some of why to do things from the trainee view as opposed to the trainer view. I do hope that I have not discouraged you in any way as that is exactly opposite of what I want to do.
So, again if I can help in any way ,let me know.

Parrots are easier for a predator to catch when they are on one foot. They constantly stand on a hard surface, such as a tree branch and by standing on one foot they are able to take the pressure off of the foot that they pick up.

Hey, i just got Joey to go everywhere in the cage, thanks for all the help you gave me guys it helped me a lot. So now what do i teach him? is it to step up or something else, and if it's step up do i do it out of the cage or inside the cage?
