Paco seems to be settling in, tries to nip a little but I say no and he withdraws his head. He is enjoying the fresh veggies (goodies), put in a water bowel, hoping to take out water bottle soon. He loved it, flipping his beak in the water. I have not let him out of cage yet. Due to plucking his feathers are not real good but I have seen improvement, he looks better and smells better. Starting to get vocal, a little mumble here and a few whistles. Still trembles when I cam close but I continue to talk to him. He is preening, sitting on one foot and stretching. I want to switch him over to pellets, brands are limited here as I live in a rural area. Suggestions welcomed.
When should I start letting him out? I have a T stand for him to sit on. I don't really know what the next step is. I don't want to scare him. When I moved him from one cage to the other he wouldn't move to the other cage, silly me thought he would just walk out. So I stuck my arm down and said up and he calmly stepped on my arm and I put him in new cage.
I am going slow but have never had a parrot this big before, I talk to him all day long, establish a routine and play music. What is my next step and how long should I wait?
