How do I prevent my parakeet from jumping when I try to get it to step up?

Question

Whenever I try to get my 5 month old parakeet to step up, it jumps to the back wall. What should I do to prevent this? Thanks for all answers.

Answer 1

He's scared of your hands.  Give him treats when  you put your hand in his cage and he should trust you.  When he's eating a treat (such as lettuce or millet spray) put your hand up to him and he should step up.  

I hope this helps.

Answer 2
