how do i get my parrot into its cage?

hi, ive been trying to get my parrot into it's cage for the past hour. I have to get it in because i am going to go to sleep soon and i dont want it to hurt itself or break anything. My parrot is 8 months old and i just got it today. If anybody has any techniques or anything please please tell me. The only choice i have left is to just grab him and put him in the cage and i really dont want to do that. The parrot is an African Grey.

Update:

hes inside the cage now, but he keeps on running around and hes not even standing on the sticks that we put inside, he is just crawling all over the cage and he is upside down on the ceiling of the cage, is this ok??

  • Does he know the "step up" command? See if you can get him to step onto your hand. You could also grab a stick or a perch and see if you can get him to step up, and then transfer him to his cage.

  • Make him get on ur finger and then transport him to the cage. If u can't get him try a stick or somtn. Or u can also. grab him just like that wit some globs so he wnt bite. Or maybe just give him time and he will eventually got in on his own

  • well if you tried to put him onn your finger and he flies away than you can hold him but lightly but make sure he doesn't bite you.Well hope it works because that is what i do to get my bird in a cage andd he is a cockatiel and is like 4.

  • pick himup so he does bite you! be very kind or he will pack his stuff and leave you and u will be upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it help o r maybe let him go and perten you dont want him to go in his cage and he will!!!!

  • switch off the lights and u can get him...
