Wow I have a lot of questions and I'm getting a lot of great help.
We have a rehomed two year old sun conure named Pete. We are working on issues as we notice them. ( we have had him 5 days)
Pete is easy to handle when out of his cage. He readily steps up and will let you scratch him. He is very love able .
Issue I can't get him to step up in the cage. He bites me hard if I'm persistent. The way we get him out is to get him to a perch or up to the top of the cage (it opens). Once there he steps up and is great from that point on.
Do I need to train this out or is it still because we have had him for such a short time ?
Ideas on how approach this?
