Hi All:
In one of the postings I read that someone used the bathtub to train their bird to step up. I was not having much luck with my 5 babies (since they all band together to resist me) so I dedcided to use the bathtub. Believe it or not it worked (at least the first day). If they wanted out they had to step on the hand and each one let me pet etc. and NOT 1 BITE. This is a guarded victory but I guess time will tell. So far this is the farthest I have got with them. You always pick up useful information in these posts and thanks to whoever posted this. :whistle:
