A bird can be a wonderful pet, bringing life and charm to any home. Yet when it comes to managing them
Approach Calmly

Step Up Method
How to train your bird to step up Have your bird step onto your hand by saying in a gentle voice “step up”
Support Feet and Body
If you have to use your hand dont let it touch the bird just fully support her body and feet. They like to be secure and know their feet are firmly in one place
Loose but Secure Grip
Gently, but firmly, grip your bird. Do not squeeze the wings/body as this will injure the bat. Give her something comfy to sit on.
Hold Close to Chest
Keep your bird against your chest for extra warmth. This provides some stability and helping your bird feel less frightened.
Handle nervous bird
Gently restrain nervous or injured birds using a soft towel. This prevents flapping and protects you both from injury.
