Hi all, ok I ended up taking the greenwinged macaw and things are going good. After a lot of time trying he will now let me take him out of his cage (majority of the time) and enjoys the training sessions of "up" from the cage door and on top of the cage (de does seem to get tired fairly quickly though)
My problem is this, I bought a large stand/perch rather than a t bar stand and he will not let me transfer him to that. He does not lunge at me when I try but he does "taste" my arm and makes it clear he does not want to go their. I have tried to put the stand next to his cage with door open or when I have him out on top and he goes to the other side of the cage (good that he will still train with me with it that close)
Any ideas? Or do I just need to be more patient? it has been about 3 weeks with the stand.
