well k ill try that but the problem is tht he wont step up(nor on my hand, nor on my finger). HE just runs away when i try putting my finger near his chest..I know, you are telling me to stay a little away from the perch so that he could fly to ur hand, but the problem is he wont he would sit somewhere else on my body.. And I cant teach him the step up trick coz whenever I try doing it he runs away..He's not really frightened.. Just doesnt know what I want him to do with the finger, mostly he thinks my as finger as a food and tries to eat it(not bite) :P

If you can setup two perches like Michael has then start from there?
