Another thing you can do is have him on the same perch as the tiels, and let the tiels eat off the millet spray. Then maybe he'll want to join in. That's what I did with Joey and Lucy. Ill try that but I cant try the tiel thing lol he will just fly away even if I wanted Rocko to step up if my hand is near him he flys.

JessiMuse wrote: Do you have a long enough perch stand for him to feel safe at one end while your hand and your tiels are on the other end? You don't need him right next to each other. He can just sit on the very end, and come closer when he feels comfortable Yeah I have a training stand but he would still fly if hes on the other end.I brought him into a small room today and put him on the stand and I didn't even reach near him and he kept flying away.He steps up on my arm only.

Give him a little bit of time to settle down in the place where he lands before you go after him again so he doesn't feel like he's being pursued. And stay as relaxed as you can so that he will feel relaxed too. Isn't that Negative? Will he ever get tired lol

JessiMuse wrote: What Carolyn mentions is what I like to call the "dove method", as it's mentioned on multiple guides of how to get a dove used to human contact. Basically put him in a small room, and let him fly away until he's too tired to fly, then finally sits on your hand. I used that, mixed with some other methods when I first got Lucy. But even if he is too tired to fly he can still run lol.
