Sarg

[Bailey]

I have a question about Sarg (Nanday Conure). Any Ideas on how to enforce the commands I give him. I can take him off me and put him back on his perch a thousand times a day and he keeps flying to me( I know he loves me and really wants to be with me). This flying to me isn't always safe if I am working in the kitchen or trying to tend to other things around the house where birds shouldn't be flying at you. His wings are clipped but being he is a farly strong little guy he can make it atleast 10 or 12 feet if not more. I also have trouble when it is time to get him off me he will get mad and bite. I am not in the least bit scared of him be he continues to bite and throw fits when its time to come off my shoulder. Any and all ideas welcome. I really love him and his personality just needing to work on a few little things.We don't want him to have to spend his life caged we think that him being as smart as he is it wouldn't be good for his mental well being.<br><br>Post edited by: Bailey, at: 2008/02/03 21:59

All I know to tell you is to do what I do with my baby blues. Just keep puting him back over and over and over.

Also maybe a treat bowl in the area you want him to stay.

And until you have the bird more under control I suggest keeping him off the shoulder.

The more you let him up there the more he well bite and it well become a learned habit.

Good luck
