A bird that is in hormone overload or is over-stimulated can be moved from a play area to his cage for some quiet time using a stick. A nervous house sitter can manage the family pet with more confidence using a stick and the Up and Down commands. You want to establish that you are still the one in charge. Keep your hands low, moving the one he's on down, so you don't end up with him higher than your chest. We recommend that the bird owner and other members of the family practice laddering with the bird once or twice a week.
Lavish praise follows every attempt at cooperation.
The Come and Go Poop learning is for our convenience. It is not necessary for the health or safety of the bird. Come is easy to teach at a certain age of development. When very young babies are being handfed, they assume the begging position and plant their feet. They act like their feet are glued to the spot.
