Hey guys I'm back, lots of changes to the flock, and most recently this special little addition. Timmy is now out of quarantine and is officially a flock member (Yoshi the Quaker (9) is our only other indoor bird at the moment lol).
I'm here to learn all I can about Kakarikis
Things I really want to talk about is training and techniques. He was on an all sunflower seed diet when he came and is now eating pellets and budgie mix, with sunflower seeds for training, and of course chop. He is LOVING his fresh veg.
He has previously lived with a very old man ina small apartment with curtains closed. He had a cage and and free range of the house (when he wasn't locked in there and covered as punishment). He is terribly hand shy and so it is extremely hard to get him back to his cage when I need to go out or at night. I'm not sure what to do here apart from the usual training - which is naturally slow :-/ any advice is appreciated please!
