So I have a very nice, very cuddly Nanday Conure. She's my little 12 year old angel that I've known all 12 years of her life. She has NEVER liked another bird. Ever. Even the Green Cheek that she grew up with she dislikes.
I recently rescued a Jenday Conure, by recently I mean February 28th if this year. He wasn't even a year when I got him. From the same home I got Merlin (Jenday) from I got a Dusky-Headed Conure (Aria). Their owner abused and they only had each other so naturally they got very attached to each other. Aria since has made a full recovery and lives in a separate cage than Merlin. Merlin now lives with Saphira, the Nanday mentioned earlier. Saphira LOVES him. They preen and play. I can't seperate because 1. This is the first bird Saphira has ever liked and
2. I don't have another cage
Merlin hates people. He is extremely bonded to birds not people. Whatever his last owner did must've been terrible because after 10 months with me he is still scared. His last owner only had him for a couple months. I am extremely patient. I spent a year taming my Green Cheek. So other than time and patience which I know is implied what steps can I take to make this bird be more comfortable around people?
