Yeah i look at pets as friends or members of your family. :D thanks for the help!

But just continue talking and singing to her/him. :danicing: Vocalising with them is a great way to gain trust. :sun: :sun: Just keep working with him, but dont push him and let him choose when his ready for the next step.
:D :D

Yeah, i actually got him to voluntarily set up onto a perch no encouraging or anything he just waddled right over to it and got on! Comets a brave little buddy :lol: anyways thanks for the help i appreciate it a lot! :gcc:
