Hey so I posted once about how my Galah cockatoo is very frightful and doesn’t like human interaction, and I think I figured out what is upsetting him, I’m just not sure how to get him to stop acting like this. Almost 2 weeks ago I tried something new with him where I basically had to force him to step up and I brought him in my room away from his cage. I sat down on the couch, and he calmed down and all he wanted was to be pet. He lets me scoop him up and sort of manhandle him, but I realized that he’s petrified of stepping up. I’ve been working with him, like giving him treats each time he steps up but usually he’ll just take the treat, drop it without eating any, and try to get off my hand. But 5 seconds later he’s trying to get me to pet him. So he’s not scared of hands, just stepping up and it’s really weird. I tried to think of maybe sometime he stepped up and fell or hurt himself, but nothing comes to mind. It’s just really confusing
