This clicker thing really does work! After taking Wendy's Jeffries advice, in just a little while I had baby raising a foot on "step up" command./cue.
This is what I did:
Yesterday, I got her used to me wearing that dog ugly long sleeved shirt and targeting the magic pencil. (the magic pencil is her taget that she nips at on command and gets a cliick and a treat for it) and I had to use the long sleeve shirt to hide the perch. Then, I took a small perch and slid it up my sleeve. I let the target pencil stick out as normal with the perch nub beside it. Gradually, as she worked the target and got clicked and treated, I pulled the perch out little by little, she eyed it and bobbed around it a lot. But still bit the target. I left it there and gave her a treat/click if she targetted the pencil.
Tonite, I started where I left off and gradually pulled the perch out more, she eyed it, but continued to target the pencil, gradually then I slid the pencil back into my sleeve and basically substituted the perch for a target and gave her treats/click for nipping at it. We did that for just a few times to where she'd get used to it.
Then, I took the pencil out compeltely and just had the perch all the way out and slowly get close to her feet and cue "step up". She immediatly CLICK AND JACKPOT! After just a few times of this, she caught on and was raising legs on cue. whew......
I didn't let her step onto the perch yet. I"m not ready. I need a longer perch LOL. I don't want her shimming up my arm. I want her to just sit on the pech when I need her to.

Next training will be putting a longer perch beside the small one and getting her to raise a foot on cue towards the longer one.. then eventually remove the small perch. Once she does that with a long perch, then I'll let her get on it, if she wants to.

Baby is so DURN smart....
This is Baby walking around the weight bench...goofy burd. I have to keep an eye on her if she is out and give her lots of toys/wiffle balls on her playtop. Or she gets bored and roams the house like a puppy or a cat. I found her in the closet the other day.
It's like it is with kids, if she's quiet....she's up to something.

I am very interested in clicker training. But I don't know where to start with 2 budgies who are fully flighted. Sounds like you are doing great though.

There are two ways to get started. One is to buy this book: Amazon.com: Clicker Training for Birds (Getting Started): Books: Melinda Johnson

The other one is to join this clicker-training group: Bird-Click : Bird-Click

Obviously these are not mutually exclusive and I'd suggest doing both if you're seriously interested. FYI the author of the book is one of the owners of the web group but you're not required to buy the book - the group website has free files that provide the same information. For reading purposes, I prefer the book over the free files since it's MUCH more organized. The group is a great place to get individual advice on any problems that you're having.

There may be other options too but this is the one that I'm familiar with!

Thank you for the info. I am definitely going to order the book. Do you know where I might find a clicker?

Any large pet store (like Petco and Petsmart) will have them, and smaller shops may have them too. Ask the clerk to show you where the dog clickers are - that's the easiest way to find them. You can find them online too, but they're so cheap (a couple of bucks) that it's not worth paying the shipping.

Thank you. dog clickers...of course. My daughter used one to train her dog. She might still have it . I forgot all about it.
