Hi all
I've had Kiwi now for three weeks and I'm wondering how best to bond with him and get him to trust me. He's now 15 weeks old. When I first got him I think I made the mistake of trying to handle him by catching him but ive since read thats wrong. I had a blue quaker that died two years ago and he was always happy to fly out of his cage. Kiwi is a little more reserved he won't fly out when I leave his door open, I talk to him and sing to him alot and he has started taking millet from my hand but at a distance. He doesn't seem as scared as he was and he's definitely found his voice.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
