I've had my blue masked lovebird, Aoife, for about three weeks and I think she's ready to maybe come out of the cage. She's still hand shy so my tactic is to open the cage and then "ignore" her. We'll stay in the spare bedroom, the bird room although she's currently my only bird. Her flight feathers were clipped when I got her. I'm looking for some suggestions? I'm a first time bird owner so I'm really not sure what to do with this but she definitely needs to get out of her cage, just on her own terms. I was thinking maybe she'd be willing to step up on a dowel instead of my hand..?
Or try putting something she likes just outside the door? I guess see how it goes.
