The term step-up is a universal
command to “ask your bird to place themselves onto your hand to be moved or to
spend time with you”. Step-up is as universal as the sit command is to a dog
and should be instilled upon your parrot as sit is to a dog. Parrots’ being
wild animals and not domesticated you will have to be a bit more patient when
training especially an older parrot or a parrot that has not been handled in
awhile. I believe that a parrot should be asked if they would like to step-up
as they are not domesticated and do not always want to do what we tell them.
