This is SOOO not working with my 'tiel! If I get my finger up close enough to him to make him start to step up he's got hold of my finger with his beak (gently) and has one foot already on me before I can withdraw it. I just can't get enough of a gap in there to withdraw and treat. When I try and pull my finger back more away from him he's teetering as far forward as he can to get to my finger with his beak. If I pull back even more he's just running back and forth on the perch trying to do what I'm asking because he's clearly under the impression I want him to step up. He's trying so hard! I've had to stop before we both get frustrated.
He obviously started getting hold of my finger to stop me pulling back, because he thinks what I'm rewarding him for is putting one foot on my finger, and unfortunately he's just faster than I am.
Any suggestions please??
