It's my very first bird.
I don't know if every bird was like him when you first brought home.
He's not curious at all. When I'll change his food and water he freaks out. I tried to take him out twice but he doesn't explore the enviroment, he just waddle off to the high place and stay there forever (He's is one legged.).
I putted a few toys in his cage to see if he plays and he doesn't touch it. He just stay on the perch and back off everytime that anyone come close to the cage. I leave the food on the door of his cage to see if he'll get out to eat and he doesn't. He doesn't get treats through the bars either.
I read in some tame tips that be alone with your bird in a small a safe bird place helps to bond. But he doesn't get out of his cage and I don't want to grab him to frighten him more than he already is (More than I already did like 3 times).
I have him about 1 month now. (I know it takes time. But I feel that I'm doing something extremely wrong and I want to fix that)
I talk, read, or just put him where everyday. I try to put him in a routine (I read the bird like that.)
I don't know if he start to reconize me as less predator and more like a friend because eveyday he squawk to wake me up to clean his cage or When I leave him in the backyard in the morning to get some air he squawk non stop until I get to him. what I should do to get him confortable, to gain his trust?
(The guy in the pet store said to me to take his food out during the night and when it's morning offer the food in your hand and just put the food back when he comes to eat. I just want to check if thi guys is saying a absurd or if he holds some truth in his word.)
(Before hand I'm sorry for the english. it isn't my first language and I'm still learning.)
