Hello great advice thank you Michael and everyone!
I have had my Amazon Mealy for a little over a week now. He is very smart and has a unique personality and that included being stubborn like me!
I have come into a snag with his training. At times he's great and steps up and has even wanted to go on my hand / shoulder with no problems, but not in acouple of days. lately I have been having a hard time with getting him to step up. I am using a stick that he was stick trained to step up on, but lately he has been refusing coming out of his cage or going back in to his cage and stepping up on the stick, he actually pushes the stick away with his foot.
feels like a double standard to me > I am not sure what I should do to correct the problem and, is it something I did? part of me wants to respect him and give him time, but other times It feel like I'm rewarding his stubborn behavior by not coaxing him to step up and come out...
