How to get him on the stand?

[Odin]

no, he's not been arrested LoL! I made Boo the Too a play stand and wondered how I can entice him to play on it? It is in the same spot as a cage I had there, which was where he played when upstairs. He won't go near it. Any tips?

He won't go near it because it's new, not familiar and not to be trusted.

Slow constant exposure and time.

Is it in a spot where he can readily see what's going on around him?

 

[Odin]

@Bird_lover6 yes to the right is the kitchen, the left the living room. I don't expect him to stay there, but he does need a "home" base.

Treats?

@sunnysmom Boo isn't impressed by treats. LOL he likes lots of praise though, so when we went near and he didn't freak out I told him he was a brave boy and gave him lots of scritches.
For the other two littles, they were like, "wow, there's millet here, let's stop here Odin" "yummy, ok Lief"
LOL
I will just keep things calm and steady and see how it goes. At the moment, he prefers the banister in the kitchen to hang out, it's not ideal because he tends to throw all his toys down the stairs. But such is life with birds

That's a nice stand that you made! In addition to time, exposure and praise, he might want to try it if he sees your other birds having fun on it.
