I don't think you will have a problem getting her onto your hand, by the look of those photos. She is half human that little girl, I feel. Keep it up, you two!

It feels great when they start to trust you and you feel their little feet on your hand. You can start trying to train her to step up on your index finger, I reckon.

I got her on my hand last night. She put one foot on my finger and I moved my hand further and further away until she had to get both feet on me to get the millet. After she ate it she sat on my hand a a few seconds and I set her back On the perch. We did this a good few times, thought I would try start getting her to step up, she wasn't really sure what I was asking her to do when I put my finger on her belly, I got one foot at one point but she doesn't quite understand yet, she kept flying off to one perch and coming straight back to the perch my hand was on said to say 'what do u want me to do?' lol was very sweet don't think it will take her long and who knows what today will bring. Will get a pic of her on my hand during a session later so you can see

I too think she will pick it up very quickly. Once she has one foot on, lift your finger up under her so she will need to stretch out her leg to stay attached to the perch. I think she will soon lift the second foot and perch on you. Each time you do it, say step-up to her so she learns the command. And when she does, of course, lots and lots of praise and seed or millet or whatever you are using.

And when she does, of course, lots and lots of praise and seed or millet or whatever you are using. i left her alone yesterday as i think the heat was making her agitated so just spoke to her a lot gave her treats through the bars throughout the day. today however, i offered her some broken up millet in my hand and rather than stand by me she hopped on my hand within a few seconds. she got sick of the millet in the end but thought i would try my luck and leave my finger extended right next to her perch. she kept putting one foot on really quickly and taking it off the flying between her top two perches then coming straight back to my finger to investigat again, i think she wants to just still a little shy. she did land on my finger a couple of times and sat there for a couple seconds before hopping off so after that gave her some more millet and let her rest as dont want to push her too much too fast, sooo happy though shes catching on so quickly. love my little chickie ;D Attachments:

Surely you are now not worried you got a hen and not a cock??? There are exceptions to every rule and Sweetie is one of these.
