New weaned baby grey

[stlcausntrbl]

Just wondering if anyone else knows, I just brought home my new baby grey, and she is 19 weeks and weaned, but does not seem to know how to take food from my hand. She eats okay, drinks water when offered from a bottle (regular water bottle). She is very hand tamed and not shy a bit. I can touch her all over, put her in her flight suit and she will investigate any new toy she is given. BUT, I can not figure out why she will not take food from my hand. Any ideas?????

Very young, might not even be familiar with that. Just keep trying with different foods and toys and eventually will get used to it.

Thanks, I was reading throught your taming and training articles and noticed that most involve some sort of food reward, and since I cannot get her to take food from me cannot follow those guides yet. I did leave her flighted, but she doesnt land well and never where I want her to, and I would imagine that there is no way to teach recall until she takes treat from me, would that be correct? Thanks for always answering and contributing, you are awesome!

your grey is still young, its still does not have enough hours on its log to be an expert yet
