Hello everyone!

I'm new here so here's my introduction. I've been a bird owner for about 13 years or so of my life. My first bird was a :greycockatiel: named Rainbow. I had her for 13 years since she was a baby. Sadly she passed away three years ago due to liver failure. Just two months ago i found another :greycockatiel: at a local pet store and i fell in love with him right away. Sunny, is a one year old grey 'tiel, and strangely enough, he was born in October, the same month as Rainbow.

Sunny is very friendly and loves getting his neck and head rubbed. He loves people, he will run up to complete strangers and lower his head to get a quick neck rub. He will fly to me when out of his cage and cuddle up against my neck. He likes walking on the ground and following me or my fiance around the house (and yes we keep a close eye on him so we don't accidentally step on him :) ).

While he is very adventurous and friendly he has a fear of people touching his feet. To the point that he will not step up unless he is scared. I can't even get under his abdomen to even try to train the step up command. I don't know what is causing it but hopefully i can get some good advice here to help him with this fear.

I love birds and think they are the most fascinating pets out there. I hope to be able to help others as much as i can on here.
