Hey Guys,
I posted in here a few weeks ago seeking some help with my recently adopted B&G macaw on my prior post. I appreciate everyone’s tips and I’ve been taking things very slow and it’s been a huge drastic change, my boy loves to get pets/scratches and even asks for them. He has no issues coming towards me and seeks my attention and loves to be near me. Since I am 100% comfortable with him now, I am now fine with him attempting to step up. He attempted to step up once again but quickly runs away after lol. I’m sure he’s shy/scared and not sure if he stepped up with the prior owners. I’m wanting to get some advice on teaching him to step up, food will NOT motivate him and he runs away. I’ve been lucky 2x with him touching my arm with his foot and then running away shy to his stand
Thanks
