Hey forum,
Thought i'd post a short text on how it's going with my Meyers parrot, and ask for a little advice.
I bought this little guy from a breeder last Saturday. He's not been hand fed.
He became 3 months old yesterday, so his baby floof is still going strong.
What i find wierd about this little guy is that he has absolutely no fear of hands! Nothing. I've had him walking all over my hands in hunt of sunflower seeds. He is afraid of me though. We are slowly making progress, but he is still very jumpy when it comes to sounds and movements.
Today, i opened the top of the cage, which makes a nice platform. I managed to get him on my hand and place him on the cage door. I fed him some sunflower seeds before getting him back in. I'm terrified of him getting scared and taking flight. I am not sure he feels safe around me yet.
So i wanted to ask you guys for experience. Should i wait for him to do something specific before progressing? Or keep making him walk on my hands inside the cage before progressing? When is generally a good time to try taking baby parrots out of the cage?
