Cockatoo Doesn’t Step Up! How I Put Him Back to Cage

Published on August 01, 2025

Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo does not step up on my hand for anything. Watch how I put him back to the cage effectively and stress free after 3 weeks with me.

This Pink Cockatoo doesn’t step up and is generally quite a nervous bird. So, I use my clicker and target stick to direct him to go on a handheld perch I am holding by himself. Then I can gently carry him back to his cage and give him a treat for going back inside.
