Faust has started letting everyone in the house except my 19 year old stepson (me, hubby, and all three of my kids) pet him. My stepson has no interest in the birds, which is why he isn’t included in that group.
Faust has been letting us give him full head scritches and really fluffing up his feathers and enjoying it. He’s also been flying off the top of his cage and landing on our outstretched arms for a few seconds at a time, letting us pet him for a few seconds, and then flying off again. I feel it won’t be long until he’s stepping up for more lengthy petting sessions and letting us hold him while we’re sitting down.
This is a major breakthrough with him and he’s come so far since I got him in April. For anyone who doesn’t remember my original thread, Faust is my BTM that was parent raised and had never been handled when I brought him home. He was around 4 months old at that time.
