tame

So I got my Indian Ringneck named Ringo about a month ago. He has access to my entire room, but really only sits on top of his cage, and sometimes screams. I fill his bowl with food, and another with water, and another with fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. He does not seem interested...

Hi there, sorry if this is in the wrong catergory i wan't sure where to put it as this is my first post (on any forum website) Details: 2 Black masked lovebirds. Pet store we got them from said they were about 8 months (don't know if true or not) Both male and are bonded to one another. I...

Hello guys. I have a pair of tame budgies. The male is really tame and spends nearly all day outside the cage hanging out with me. In two days, I have to go on a short trip for an exam for six days and since my family can't really handle them (putting them in cage at night, looking after them...

My cockateil, Lulu, is very particular about the way her cage is set up. She used to belong to a friend of a friend, who rehomed her to my family a few years ago. Her previous owner said how she was so adventurous and also loved to eat her greens. But when I put some leafy greens in her cage for...

I’m a bird mama of two Bourke’s parrots and I love them to death. They are tame and hand trained but Bourkes are not a species that likes to hang out on your shoulder or be on you, give them a kiss, etc. I’ve been wanting a handfed IRN for over a year now and I really want to know if they’re...

Hello guys , I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but I've got me eye on this GORGEOUS 2 month old fischer female. I am planning on taming her but I heard fischers are little bit timid and females are not usually outgoing as males are. So what are your thoughts and tips when it...

Hello. I have a cockatiel for the first time and his name is cherry. Last week, when Cherry was doing tame training with me, she stayed still when she touched his head with a finger with a spray millet, and came up to me. Last week, Cherry wanted to come out of the cage, so he opened the door...

Hello, I was the last time I posted a new cockatiel for adoption and need help. When I tried using the tips from the previous post, I saw my bird still scared of my hands, but started eating the spray millet and drinking water. I'm still tame with my bird and I'm going to go to the vet. I am...

Hello, I am the first cockatiel owner. I don't know the sex of my cockatiel yet. My bird's name is Cherry and it is estimated to be 7 months old. I am currently having green cheek conure, but there seems to be a lot of difference, so I want to know some tips and tips so I am posting. Cherry...

Hi, I have just brought home a hand raised cockatiel. We have not had her 24 hours as yet. She is fairly frightened and flighty. I am not going to attempt to handle her until she is settled and relaxed, eating, drinking etc. My query is if this takes say 2 weeks will my bird still be tame or...

I have a 3,5x6m aviary with 5 lorries. i have Had them for around a year. When they all came to me they were not tamed (from different places) im not sure if all of them are wild caught but im pretty sure these two rainbow lorikeets are. Some of them were chained and put in a really small cage...

Hi, my name is kai I'm kinda new to the whole owning my own parrot thing. I have always wanted a parrot (specifically an Amazon) about a month ago I was browsing craigslist and I saw a person sell/rehoming a 17-year-old Amazon that looked a little on the rough and when I was chatting with the...

Hi! So this is my first post and first ever bird because I couldn’t find any threads that would help me enough. Two months ago I bought a IRN who I was told is a 4 month old male. the first few weeks were pretty difficult for both of us but we did get through. We are at a stage where I...

So some might know I have a lovebird. Now, he is still scared of hands. Grab a snack since it'll be a long post. So when I first got him I made the mistake of putting my hands in the cage the very first day when I should've left him alone to settle. The next day I got his wings clipped because...

Hi, I'm glowe and I'm new here. I just squirted a beautiful little peachface lovebird that I've been told is six weeks old. I've only had him the days (including today) but he wants nothing to do with me. I know it takes time but I've been doing a lot of research online and there are so many...

Sigh, why are non hand raised finches soooooo hard to win over? Charlie and Emma have their good and bad days, but most of the time they are still pretty scared of me. I have had them now since September 1st of last year I think? I spend almost every day with them for at least 8-10 hours a day...

Ok so first I have to introduce myself and my little friend. I'm Calin, from Romania. And recently, about 3 days ago I've bought an cockatiel, named MooShu. The first two days I've stayed in the same room as him, talking or playing relaxing music for Parrots found on youtube. After some hours...

So to those of you who followed my post from a few weeks ago about handling the finches daily, I ended up abandoning it completely. It started to become a "chase" with Charlie and was really stressing him out. We almost had an accident too so I put a stop to it. Its been a week or so now and I...

So as I predicted, having a little more trouble now outside the cage. On a scale of 1 to 100, when I am sitting near the cage and play stand (where I work from home), Emma seems to trust me 98%, Charlie about 60% with respect to the new finger training I am trying to work on (Holding millet with...

As I anticipated, had a small spat today in the living room. Emma was being adventurous, but keeping close by (doing laps around my head near the cage). Well Charlie finally built up enough courage and charged full steam ahead out of the cage and around the corner. Emma of course decided to...
