My sun conure wont step up?!!?

I suggest bribing him on to your hand. Get his favorite food and place it so that he has to step on your finger into order to get it. Once he does, give him the treat. Do this a lot and eventually, you won't have to use treats anymore.

Maybe you could try getting him to step up onto another perch first and see if he'll do that? If he does you could keep practicing that until he does it straight away. Then you could try doing the same with your arm. You could always try luring him onto your hand with his favourite food to begin with. Make sure you take his food out of his cage an hour or so before trying this so thst he is hungry. Good luck! :)
