So during taming how bad are setbacks? Basal was doing great with step up and down in his cage, but did not like being moved perch to perch. If I had him out for a short time in a different room he did well. Today he doesn't want anything to do with my hand and flipped out a little, panting and all. Am I doing something wrong or will he just have those days?

my guess is it is one of those days, some days they can be so nice and next day ignore you!

Just keep doing the same things you were before. If he didn't flip out at something you did at the time, and you would know about it if he did, then stop worrying - it is him rather than you - and continue the training, maybe just have a shorter session, make sure you finish on a positive note.

Thank you guys. It got me feeling a little sad because I felt we were making progress. I know I must be really annoying with all the questions, but I'm a bit of worrier, with everything, not just this. I had never even been around a pet bird until my friend got a lovebird years ago, and I haven't seen her in a long time.

Just remember that the same thing happens when training a pup/dog. Some days nothing seems able to go wrong and the next nothing can go right! With the birds, it is the same thing. Sometimes it might just be that they are picking up on some impatience in yourself; they know when you are out of sorts, other times they are the ones out of sorts.
