Hi I have recently bought an alexandrine parrot for our family. He seems so timid about everyone, he's very cautious when someone approached and wouldn't let anyone pat him. Also he will not come out of his cage on his own. I'm just wondering if he was maybe mistreated before and now is very cautious with people.
Would he eventually be more relaxed? Or would he be this timid all the time?
We can approach the cage and most times he moves away and turns his back on us. But sometimes he stays still and takes treat from hand.
Also the step up is a definately no no at the moment.
We just want him to be more relaxed around us as he's now a part of the family.
