Hello everyone.
I've read a lot of similar posts to mine. I've watched all the YouTube videos I can find, and I still can't get one of my tiels to bond with me. I got him from a breeder at age 2 months. He's now 5 months old (not positive it's male, but breeder said male). Anyway, he will step up, will accept treats from my hand, I am clicker /target training, ....but he basically hates me.
He's fearful, stubborn, and the breeder clipped his wings.
I work with him, and he will hop to me during training, but he's just really shy, and also runs from me on the perch or cage until he decides to engage. (Very hard to get him to engage)
I remain hopeful that one day, he will find a comfort level and Break out of his fearfulness.
I love him so much, and want to interact with him like my other 2 tiels.
Any advice?
