He is a ringneck dove who currently cautiously takes treats from my hand as I put them in his closest "treat shute" (I make little shutes that collect treats closest to his perch.)
I'm if i picked him up he will sit for a little bit when kept near a surface to hop down on (in other words when he feels in control of the situation.) I try not to touch him unless he needs to be moved, the same goes for treats, which i try to place slowly on his little shutes, so he can accept them from my hand at an easier pace.
I was wondering how long it should take for him to be able to enjoy my company, as I feel bad that he has no mate to make him happy in the mean time.
