But... the first thing we teach in the course is "touch training" which you can find here too; http://jamiesparrothelp.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/teach-your-bird-to-step-up-without-getting-bit/ And if you teach that, you can actually teach it from INSIDE the cage so the bird literally cannot get to your shoulder. Once he understands touch training from inside the cage (and is on a training diet we tell you about in the course too) then you can target him off your shoulder if he goes there. Just make sure he's on a training diet otherwise the shoulder is more reinforcing than the food. Good luck! Hi Richard,
