Re: CAG back in cage

If I have any problems it usually is getting him in a travel cage. The
trick 
is to "back him up" into the cage door so that by the time he realizes
what 
is happening it is too late. Do not hesitate at the door or he will try to

latch on cage door with beak and wings. Then you have to let go, relax and

try again in a few minutes. When I back him up he is perched on my right 
hand index finger, I am holdng his left toe firmly with my thumb and my
left 
hand is on his back. I am talking to him to distract him and "wham". By
the 
way, he "enjoys" me holding onto him with my thumb. It gives him mental 
security and also he feels comfortable enough to revolve and hang from my 
index finger and do tricks.

Sounds like you have been too lenient on your bird and let him roam out of

the cage too much. He should have been disciplined that the cage was home 
and outside was a treat. Mine knows "nite nite"time is in his home and not

in his play area.
