My 3 months old green cheek conure Echo, who's been with me now for 2.5 weeks is not afraid of his harness. He actually likes to play with it. I have been doing harness training with him. I hold a treat on one side of a bigger loop, and he reaches with his head through it to get it. This goes fine. But he doesn't keep his head in the loop. I'm not using his head loop yet, but one of the bigger loops. I try to keep the loop longer around his body while he eats the treat but he just bows and gets immediately out of the loop. I can't really get past this stage. What should my next step be? Or should I just let him reach his head through it like this for a few more days so that he gets more and more comfortable with it? Does anybody have any other ideas of how to continue?
I don't want to push him of course or make him afraid of the harness.
