Never chase the bird around the cage tuttut They're prey animals & you don't want it to think you're chasing it for dinner :scared: . You may have some work ahead of you if it's not that tame :) Here's a link that has good advice in training your baby nodding http://s10.zetaboards.com/Parrotlets/topic/7010495/1/?x=25

California My name is Andy	It's a good idea to trim the wings while you're bonding & training a bird ('course, you have to catch him first :lol: :lol: :lol: drats ), it makes them more reliant on you & easier to train. You can always let the wings grow out later.

Severe Macaw and 2 Timneth Greys I live in Upstate New York, USA My name is Gail	I agree with Andy on this. Even with their wings clipped they can still fly to a certain extent. Just not so much that you can't catch them. They do more of a glide to the floor which is what you want.
