stuck in stepping up!

[izmail1215]

So far I orederd a stop biting kit from birdtricks.com the target traning is going great every thing is going good. But the stepping up part is what I am stuck on! I tried to use a pearch to hold him he bites is wile growling. I put my hand under his belly by his feet he was getting ready to bite.

He is a yellow naped amazon 4 motnhs old. He likes me has no proublm. He trust me but has no idea what I am gonna do. I pet him on his head he puffs his feathers so he dose like me.

only place i can pet him is on this head no back wings or feet. any help would be great!

I just want him to step on on my hand and let him let me touch him every where.

what about petting him?

Get step up done first. Don't worry about petting a parrot you cannot even handle. Depending on how good the place is you got the bird from, odds are it knows how to step up already and it's just a matter of you asking the bird to do it properly. If the bird honestly doesn't know step up, the link I posted above is the way to teach it. If the bird was raised by a good breeder or store that taught it to step up, read this about how to handle yourself in a way that is more likely to get the bird to step up:
