Training problems

[Parrotlover]

I have some training problems with my IRN. I have him for almost an year. Recently I've tried to train my parrot with stick (when he bites it he will get a treat ) but when I pass the stick he bites it and then he doesn't accept the treat and he thinks that the stick is a toy for chewing. Please help! I need tips about how to teach him tricks. ( for now he only steps on my hand, and he has learned to whistle ) Thank you in advance.

Maybe you don't have the right treat? How did you choose what to give him?

Or perhaps he isn't that hungry. Perhaps more foraging would help. You can check out these links on foraging for more information:
