Hello everyone!
I just for my very first conure yesterday. She is a turquoise green cheek conure and she was handed by a breeder before being shipped to me yesterday.
I have primarily left her alone in her cage and just talk to her a lot and sat by her cage as much as I can. Does anyone have any tips to help me gain her trust? I have left the cage open all day and she flew out earlier when I was swapping out her water and food. But I think she just got startled rather than wanting out. I picked her up and rubbed her head for a bit before putting her back, and she seemed very calm and content in my hands but ran away from me as soon as I put her in the cage.
She has been eating and drinking regularly throughout the day, but has not touched any of her toys. Just sitting on her perch and grabbing food and water when she wants. She has preened as well which I think is a sign of comfort. But any advice on this would be much appreciated, thanks!
