Hi Hezz Better that B..J. takes some flack than a bird gets injured by anyone acting bad advice.. ...B.J. I know you mean well and that you have a lot of experience B.J. Which we appreciate. But, please try not to offend others. It is possible to just offer advice without forcing it upon someone. Jake did not say that he blows into the birds face and there is nothing aggressive about his training. Lets leave the argument there and carry on enjoying our birds.

Thank You Marianne.
Anyway, just thought I would leave you an update on my progress.
Jakey is doing really well, been training him for about 3 days, twice a day at the moment due to busy schedule. He seems to not be biting as much as he did before and when I tell him "No", he stops without me having to blow at him.
And as for stepping up, I am still saying "up" to him when he jumps on my hand. He is understanding that well when he tries to climb up the cage and I say "Up". He jumps back on my hand, most times. The only problem is when I want to get him back on his perch, he just doesn't want to leave me. He will just run up my hand and arm.
I have taken your advice with the vegies. Still only giving him carrot at the moment, which he still throws around which is cute. Even Ollie has now taken to eating Carrot too and we have just started giving Cookie and Crumble some now. Which is great.
