So I want to teach Felix, my cockatiel, to sit on my shoulder. How do I go about it? He has, rarely, landed on my shoulder before, and I have rewarded him for it. But he doesn't stay long. I think he is a little afraid of faces. I have been working on desensitizing him through training kisses, so hopefully I will see progress. He hates my hair, so I will have to make sure to tie it away. He sits on my lap and the back of my chair. Sometimes on a nearby stand. And used to on my arm. But he gets bored on a stand and prefers to hang out on me. It would be convenient for both of us if he would hang out on my shoulder. He can step up on my arm, but no perch or hand. And tips or tutorials?? Thanks
