Hello,
I need some advice from experienced people.
I have a Olive IRN, I had him since he was about 6 weeks old. Shiloh is his/her name. It was handfed in the bird store for about 22 days. I would visit him everyday, so when I brought him home, he was use to being held and grabbed since, so there wasn't trouble there. When I bought Shiloh it was before I brought him home it was back in 4/5/17 he was almost 6 weeks then.
Now just 2 days ago I bought an Albino IRN. I named him/her Snow. The worker there told me that he was brought in with the batch prior to my bird like a week or so before. The people that were going to buy him, just paid the deposit to reserve him. But they never came for him and meanwhile that they never visited him either. He was handfed. So he's around like 3 months old or a bit older. He doesn't like being grabbed at all, he thrashes around when my hand goes near the cage like wiping his perching sticks for example. They adviced me to keep Snow in his cage next to Shiloh's. And to keep Snow in his for about 3 days. Shiloh and him show interest of trying to be together since today. So I let the bird get out by himself because he was biting on the cage bars kind off hard because he was trying to get out and I was afraid he would hurt his beak. So far they dont fight really bad. Just at times Snow tries to bite Shiloh to kick him off his own cage (not Snow's cage). So I tried to put him back with one of the long perches as far away as I could and put him back in his cage for a minute to calm down.
My question is, what more advice can you guys give me. What im doing wrong? What I should do? How long should i wait to try and tame him? What can I expect this time around with Snow?
Pic 1. is Snow
Pic 2. Is what I mean that Snow was trying to get out to go with Shiloh.
Pic 3. Shiloh's cage is the big one and Snow's the small one. It was Shiloh's old cage.
