[Hiccups the cocketiel]

Since writting my last uodate on her tweety made so much progress she eats from my hand normally she lands on me regularly and if i lure her with her fav treat (sunflower seeds) she steps up on my hand.She got used to me and wants attention.Now i want her to learn how to step up without luring her the problem is she is still scared of my hand if i didnt have a treat and i rrly want to pet her and play with her.Any tips do you guys have on what should i do?

Just be patient and don't rush her. If she's stepping up to eat from your hand, that's GOOD progress. It's natural for us to WANT to pet or scratch our feathered friends but sometimes you just have to let the bird decide when they are comfortable and the time is right.
