Glove Terror

[Wolf]

Many birds already have a fear of hands, mostly due to improper handling by a previous caregiver, especially if they are rehomes. This, then is made worse by the strangeness of the gloves. Personally, I think that gloves are like any other item that a bird is unfamiliar with, if you introduce them in the right way the bird should end up being just fine with them. I have no studies to back me up on this, it is my own opinion.

Sean, why are you wearing gloves?

I do not take my birdie babies in pubic except to the vet. I did not take my human babies out to church until they were 3 months old. I really hated when people would touch their hands or stroke their faces.

Babies cry when they get sick. Birds hide it until it is almost too late.
