My Boyfriends CAG is a few years ago and like the rest of us likes things on his own terms ..... and has been allowed to get his own way ... so havin g read some good books that OldMolly from this group recommended realised he needed training ..... big time ... and so it began He will not go onto anyones hand at all ...except my boyfriends .... but not on demand ... only if it suits him in ..... consequently he cannot be put into his cage so he has had free reign ..... and spending ALL his time apart from when on our knees on top of his cage We learned that one of the things to do is to move the cage to a new part of the room because he has not had any change since he was a baby ....5 years ago ..... so we moved it .... just a few feet Since then ( a week ago) ...... he will not go on his cage at all except to eat or play with a new toy i got him ..... instead at bed time he wanders around on the carpet at bedtime in the area where his cage used to be ..... then he ends up on top of the curtain rail well out of reach ..... and there he stays all night ... and all day it seems ... apart from eating now and again or sitting on our knees .... When my boyfriend comes down in a morning he is up there, when he leaves for work he is up there and when he gets back he is still there .....no sign he ever came down While he is up there he seems ok ... preening ... pecking wallpaper ..... and doing happy body language (I think) ...... but he isnt doing much talking now ...... not like him SO what to do ...... have we made him more insecure by doing this .... shoyuld we put his cage back ... or stick it out ..... and has anyone else experienced this ... and what was the outcome He needsa to get used to change and going in his cage and being handled as we hope to bring him to my house as I am home much more than my b/f and so have much more time to give him Help please Thanks alot .
