:Thanks for the tips! I have noticed that If I step up on a small stool so that I am much higher than him he will actually step up much easier. I thinke is just trying to test me to see how much he can get away with.

The height of your bird in relation to you is very important for the dominance/pecking order and training. Ideally, the bird should be no higher than your heart. This often means not allowing your bird on top of it's cage. The higher he/she can perch, the higher up in the *pecking order* it will assume.
