It’s easy to get excited about bringing a bird home without thinking through all the details. One detail that is sometimes overlooked is exactly how you’re going to get your bird back in his cage!

Without the right training, getting a bird to go back in his cage can be nearly impossible. And if you can’t get your bird back in the cage, you may not want to take him out in the first place.

Proper training includes the ‘step up’ and ‘step down’ command. When done correctly, you can get your bird to step onto your finger when coming out of the cage, and step onto his perch when it’s time for him to go home.

Of course, putting your bird back is a lot easier if you trim his wings! For more training tips, ask your veterinary clinic Bucks County, PA for a recommended trainer near you. For more information, please contact your Animal Hospital of Richboro, PA.
