What would be his reason for not coming? Should I use a different word.

Think of it in reverse.....why should he come? There has to be something in it for the bird to motivate it to recall. If the bird receives a positive experience every time he flys to you.....soon he will have no issue flying to you on cue (whatever that may be). If bird is within sight a visual cue of just holding up your hand/arm will cue bird for recall.....
Hope that helps.....dont focus on the verbal cues.....focus on training for recall.

I envy those who can whistle. I have not been able to. My Momma was really bad at it but tried. Now my birds have another kind of whistle than before . They sound like Momma trying to whistle.
