So i began starting to teach my budgie to flight recall. I started off in his cage saying 'UP' and then 'DOWN' then rewarding him with a treat he has now learnt that when i say 'UP' he jumps onto my finger however the problem is getting him outside the cage. I can get him outside the cage and I always allow him to fly around whilst I'm in the room, I can get him back into his cage with ease, but when training it is a whole different story.
Whenever he hears a car noise he gets scared and flies away, when he hears something coming up the stairs he flies away and I am just not sure how to train him since he is so timid?
Thanks in advance
Ryan.
