My Sun Conure has been great so far, unless I have to take him/her out of or off of its cage. Then he doesn't want to leave and sometimes bites. I usually manage to get him out, but it takes a while. I could grab him, as he definitely doesn't step up at this time, however, he holds onto the cage so darn tightly with his feet and beak that it's near impossible to get him to let go, and I don't want to hurt him.
The last time I went to the vet's, I asked him how I should deal with this behavior. He said to show the bird that the only way to get in or out of the cage is by me. Never let him come in or out by himself. It's a bit more difficult than it sounds. Nevertheless, I will continue this, however, does anybody know of any other methods that could help?
