Hello all, first time on the pionus thread.
I’m thinking of buying a dusky pionus. There is a little boy dusky in the pet store, 8 months old. Pet store said they had 4 or 5 but all sold except for this one, who seems quite shy. Not extreme panicking, but can’t step up yet, and backs away from the door when someone gets close to the cage. Apparently he was worse but has slowly come to be able to take food from fingers now.
Do you think if I buy this bird he’ll come to trust me enough to step up?
I already have a green cheek who is way too Velcro, sticks to me like glue whenever she can see me. So a bird who is a little shy and wants to take things slow sounds quite good actually. I don’t need a big hugger, just a relaxed bird who will step up eventually, and we can build a bond of trust from there. Any thoughts?
