Hello everyone,
I brought home a 4-5 month old IRN about 6 days ago and I've been working on building trust with him every day.
One question I have is about him starting to become loud. When I first brought him home he was very quiet, but today he started to squawk very loudly a lot. He looked very calm while doing it, so does this mean he's finally become comfortable enough to make noise around me?
Second, I've been touch/stick training him for a few days. He'll come to where I point the stick but he's still wary of stepping onto my hand for it. Will this pass over time? Also, I've been giving him sunflower seeds as treats for doing it correctly. I understand too many sunflower seeds are unhealthy for a bird, so how many should I be giving him for training?
Thank you
