progress

Hello it's been awhile since I've been active on this forum but ever since I was gone I was making good progress with blaze and spending all my time with him, and out of nowhere just recently abt 2 days ago blaze ate a treat from my palm and the next day he went on my palm with no hesitation...

I thought I'd post an update on my budgies since I've been making a lot of progress with them lately. :excited1: First exiting thing that happened: I got them to eat carrots! After months and months of them refusing to go near the carrots, I discovered that the trick was to cook it a bit to...

I am finally getting closer to teaching Blinky to step up! :yah: He’s still scared of hands but at this point if I put a perch in front of him he will step up, let me move him from point a to point b, then get off again. For now I’m not teaching him a command, just using it to get him back into...

recently jupiter has been making progress! his feathers are growing back and so now he will fly to me and my boyfriend. every time i'm laying in bed he flies to my head and picks at my shirt! :bounce4: anyways this is him in his big boy stance

if you've seen my recent thread my cockatiel is coming around thanks to all yalls help! today my boyfriend and i were painting and he flew in front of us to see what we were doing and even got on our shoulders :)

First time trying to add a video, so hopefully this works. Another big step made with Slade. I haven't been petting him much just to give him his space. This was the other night however, and it's still happening daily so I think we may be pretty good now! I haven't worked on getting him to...

I recall feeling panicked when I noticed he only had 1 feather left. He looked even tinier without his tail feathers! Though it was pretty dang cool watching them grow out day by day :) with the exception of his head, I think he's pretty much done with his first (off-season) molt! January 29...

A week ago I bought a 10 week old cockatiel (we think it is a male) and at first he was terrified of of us. The breeders said they were hand fed and would step up if you had a white blanket over your hand. I tried this three days after we put him in his cage and he freaked out of me, flailing...

Today, he finally ate a little from my hand! :starshower1: I was so shocked, but I'm so happy he's learning to trust me more. I've been offering millet spray every day right before dinner, for about 7 weeks. He slowly started approaching it the past two weeks, and today; decided to be a brave...

So far, Kumo has been doing quite well. He still hasn't taken treats through the bars but has become more calm around my voice and being near the cage. He no longer dashes away and is quite a curious little thing! Even got him to eat a bit of kale and scrambled egg this morning. I opened his...
