    Isn't that funny!  Bobbi and I had talked about that awhile ago too. 
 It seems to have to do with what hand the breeder uses the most when 
they are dealing with the babies.  Test it out on your new Babies 
(congratulations BTW!) offer 1 only the left, and the other only the 
right.  After they have mastered the step up command try switching hands 
and see what happens.  I think I'll try it out on my new babies too.  I 
always offer my right hand, and all my babies so far only step up when 
offered the right...I know with my Grey I'll get bit if I offer my left!
    
    Anyone else have a bird with a preference?
