I'm haveing a small problem with my new Cockatoo he's not afraid of hands by any strech but he's afraid to step up I ask him to step up and I know he wants to because he put one foot on my hand and holds on to what ever he can grab with his other foot if he can find somthing to grab with his beak and hold tight then he will step up with his other foot and after that he will let go with his beak once he actually got both feet on my hand Its very strange. its like he is afraid he's going to fall if he steps up without holding on to something. any suggestions on how I can make this easier for him Pat

I have no problems picking him up if I pick him up around his body I think this is probubly the way he was always picked up so he never really had to learn to step up so he a little scared to try to learn something new at 20+ I am paitient I just don't want him to be so unsure of himself I guess presistance and patients are the answer he is so sweet and we have established a wonderful bond in the tree or four weeks that I've had him He has never tried to bite me and he's going through a bad molt so I've been helping him with all his pin feathers he just loves it Pat
