| Question about Pets:Anti-Social Parakeet? |
First of all, sticking your hand into the bird cage is frightening to the bird...that is HIS domain...try opening the door and letting him come out on his own...as long as no other animals are present in the room... Once he learns to come out on his own, then train him to step up onto your finger by pressing your finger just above his feet into his belly, and saying "UP" at the same time (every time)...just gently push. He may nip or bite until he gets used to being touched. Talk softly to him at all times. Let him gain your trust. If he has been in the cage for a year, it is going to take time for him to learn to trust anyone. Be patient...
In Mindanao, Philippines can anybody tell me where I can find a young, male Eclectus parrot? (previous)
Is it normal for my parakeet to eat her own poop? (next) |
