I have a 7 month old green cheek conure which I've recently adopted. I'm just beginning step up training, and he for some reason has some need to be on my shoulder/head. I try to keep him at eye level so it's not an issue with height, I was thinking maybe it was because of my hair as i have natural red hair. He doesn't do it to my boyfriend or my sister when they handle him.
He tries to jump from my hand to fly over which usually lands in my lap when i'm sitting, or clings to my chest.
Any tips on training him to sit on my hand, i try to stop him every time he trys to scoot from my hand to my shoulder, but obviously jumping is a little harder to stop.
Thank you for looking.
