Another huge step for Argyle:)

[BraveheartDogs]

Argyle, my linnie made another big step in his training today and I am so happy. He went from being terrified of hands and anything that came near him to now reliably stepping onto a long 24" perch. He is also easily taking sunflower seeds from my hand.

Today, he was goofing around on the fleecey covered boing and he flew down onto the floor. I offered my hand to step up. He stepped away. I got his perch and he stepped right up. Then, while he was on the perch I offered my hand. He did not step up BUT he didn't move away and he beaked and gently explored my hand! Very big for my beautiful greenie boy!

Here he is today...

Yes, if feels great because I am really committed to not pushing or forcing him and it's paying off. All this progress is very reinforcing for me as well
