I've noticed with a lot of users here that they have pictures of their fids laying on their backs. I really want to start training Einstein how to do this. I think it would make nail clipping a bit easier. I've noticed though that most of the parrots that lay on their backs are either pois or conures. I rarely see it done with cockatiels.
I've tried laying Einstein on his back before (gently and securely) but he really didn't like it. He started to flap his wings and try to get back upright.
Does anyone have any pointers for me? Or should I just not go there, since he really has no interest being on his back?
