I have just bought a 10 week old Galah. It is extrememly friendly and without any training it will hope onto my hand and let me stroke him.
When I take him out of the cage he starts on my hand but then always starts working his way up the arm. I would prefer he stays just on the hand as my arms are now covered in small cuts from the claws! I can of course wear a jumper to protect myself but it would be good if he just stayed on the hand!
Is that realistic? If so how do I train him to stay on the hand and not immediately start walking along the arm?
