Ricky has, for the last two days in a row, stepped up to the perch I am holding inside his cage and as I move the perch out of his cage, he steps up to the roof of his cage. He then flies across the room to the top of one of the other cages. I let him stay there for several minutes, then I get the perch again, bring it up to his body, he steps up on it, and I bring him back to his cage. He is rewarded with a small piece of spray attached in his cage.
Hi. Do you say anything to him when he steps up, like "step up!"? I have done that with my birds and it reinforces what you are asking them to do.
