Hi everyone, this is my first time here and I need a bit of help.
I've had an Indian ringneck parakeet for about two months now. She is absolutely beautiful, but I've never come across a more nervous bird in my life!
I've been trying to train her, but the only progress I've made is being able to approach her cage without her freaking out. Hands are an absolute no go. She'll climb, fly, jump, just do anything to get as far away as possible.
On the upside, she has started whistling back to me, and as long as I'm not in her cage, she'll even sit at the bars watching and whistling.
Does anybody have any advice in regards to hand training? I know it'll take time, but I at least thought I'd have made some progress by now.
Many thanks!
