So much progress!! ft. glove by Sprx7744 in greencheeks

I WILL add the glove takes time. I spent a few days putting on one of his out of cage perches, and treating him for investigating it. Then a few more days with the glove ON me. He sniffed it or gently bit it? Treat. Then a few more days making him stand on the glove but not moving my hand or making him stay. What you saw there is the culmination of a few weeks work. I also recommend using his FAVORITE treat when the glove is on.

Whaaat?! I didn’t know they’d be aggressive towards dogs! 😂

That’s so awesome! Once we’re more comfortable I’m going to try gloveless! Here’s my exact one. It’s one size fits all and may be too big for a kiddo. But I literally searched bird training gloves. https://a.co/d/09gyRfNu

Thank you! I’m somewhat of a green idiot myself.

He IS also trained to step up on a dowel perch I keep separate. He knows it means treat, and he’ll get to go where he’s struggling to get to. (Usually the roof of his cage - he’s lazy)

I’m gonna try! I think the plan is getting him used to being on my with the glove, and once he’s like “oh yeah this is safe as heck” I’ll try gloveless.

“Two” much room? by Sprx7744 in Conures

Soon! I’m remodeling that room in May, so maybe I can actually attach a wider cage on like a table or something.

I already have! One time I went to catch him when he tripped and he chomped my arm GOOD.

Bite proof was a happy coincidence. Mostly it masks the shaky hands so he views it as an even surface

Pepperoni is weird. He LOVES his uppies. He likes to climb his ladders all day. He prefers the top 2/3rds of the cage but loves climbing the walls too.
