I think I may have figured out why Baby was'nt wanting to step up onto my finger, but I may be wrong. If anyone out there has had a simliar experience I'd like to know. So here's the deal-
I'm left handed, and so I've been approaching her with my left index finger. Well today out of the blue while playing with her, and I don't know how I did this, but Baby found my right index finger extended to her and she stepped right up. So we tried again. She stepped up again. Another time. She stepped up.
Do parrots have a right/left preference for the finger they will perch on? Has anyone else experienced this? I have a feeling that her initial training at the breeders may have been with someone who is right handed.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you may have!:)
