Getting IRN back in cage?

[Crayfish066]

Is there a reliable way to get an IRN back into it's cage if it hasn't learned to step up yet?

I spent well over an hour trying to get mine back in today and in the end I got lucky and managed to get him to "flee" into it.

Did you end up choosing to clip him?
How is your bonding/trust work going?

I'm still not entirely sure where he came from, or how you ended up with him. These details could all help us help you move forward

I haven't clipped him, he's pretty comfortable taking treats from my hand and being near me when he's outside his cage but he's still not fond of hands.

I got him from a breeder and he was in an aviary at the time, I assume he was raised by his mother because he doesn't seem very tame, although I've made a little bit of progress with him because he tries to bite me and runs away from everyone else lol.

Thanks these were helpful, I've got him stepping up onto a piece of wood at the moment (not on command), but everytime I go to put it in his cage he growls, is it possible it's too large?

The item I use for target training doesn't get this kind of reaction.

Lol I have him walking on the stick now but he slowly moves along it so he can try and bite me :31:

Any ideas?

 

[clark_conure]

WALK FAST! or trade hands.....or oh, maybe put a guard around the stick like the hilt of a foil (sword) he can't get past.

 

[plumsmum2005]

Drape something over your hand.

 

[clark_conure]

oh yeah! I'm an idiot, plumsmum has a much better idea, so long as it doesn't scare him off..... that's way better

 

[Crayfish066]

Much better ideas than what I have been doing, dropping the stick and running away lol.

He doesn't fall he hovers in place.
