I have a Hahns too. I researched every aspect but was always a little curious about the owners. Everyone sorta implied these birds are a bit um, bi-polar so to speak......Once you have one you will know. He can be a bit crazy too and will try to bite my ear, I just brush him off so to speak.He know if he tries to bite me he does not get to stay with me...He also is a great cuddler, i kiss him under his wings and talk softly and he humms it is so cute!!
I think they are alot like a dog in intellingence and handling. My bird is great. I have never considered if he is afraid of a toy or food or whatever, i just offer it and he happily accepts it. He eats anything I give him. When he came from the breeder he did not arrive with any pellets or sample food ,nothing, so I had planned on feeding him Harrisons. I gave him the pellets, no problem, he eats pasta, veggies, fruit, pellets, Abba green mush, cereal Kashi Go Lean, raisins,eggs, Greek style plain yogurt with berries and granola.... whatever,
He has no split personality issues. He can be man-handled and loves it. He is not too loud, he talks alot does tons of tricks and is still learning more. He likes everyone in the family (4 kids) he is fully flighted and his feathers are more beautiful in person......
Because he is flighted we play hide and seek and it is sooo funny cause I will hide in a doorway and he flys by looking for me and if he sees me he stops mid air and turns to get me!! I will try to get it on video!
He is the best.
