hello! I am looking for some advice when it comes to taming shy parrotlets.
One of my parrotlets will take Millet from my hand but I can’t seem to progress any further? I know he is not ready for step up as he moves away whenever I place my hand in front.
My mums parrotlet Kiwi is an adoption who lived in an aviary. He spends most of his time behind a toy at the back when we are in the room but today he came out and ate some Millet while we were both there! One problem I am having is giving him his chop. As every time I open his cage to change the bowls he flys away and I feel it distresses him. Any ideas on how to make it easier for him?
Both boys are in seperate rooms by the way so they cannot see each other or their cages.
Sorry for the long post and hope it is okay to create another thread. I just wanted a thread specifically for training the boys
