since Sweet Pea is going to bed at sunset. I have a little more time to work with Bebe. tonight's lesson was sitting on the T-bar. this would help in million different ways, weighing him, move him around in the house without me getting bitten. I am still having to towel him long enough to get him into the bathroom. he like working in there and so do I. he is easier to handle in small room.

I have tried to offer treats for being a good boy but they are refused.

Looks like you have made great progress! I don't think I could get my "hands off" tiel to sit still long enough on a T stand to get a pic - and I have had him for over 16 years! Bebe looks great :)

I wish, but we are working on that too. if he bites I turn my back on him and walk away. he sit there by his lonesome, flock calling like crazy. in a minute or 2 I come back, but I don't talk to him until he comes to me with out piercing my skin.

Bebe is so handsome!

Sounds like you and him are making progress...kudos to you both for that. :thumbsup:


I also like to work with the birds in the bathroom...smaller area and I control access- they can't run or fly away very far...;)
