Hi everyone. We recently (3-4 weeks ago) brought home a 3 1/2 month old Double Factor Violet Indian Ringneck. We followed protocol of 1- leave him in cage for first 24-72 hours 2- talk to him as much as possible, 3- slow movements, 4- no loud noises. After a few days, Vinny our IRN, would step up and let me and only me hold him.
Whenever my husband would come close to the cage or try to give him a treat he would yell and fly around the cage. After 3-4 weeks this continues. My husband can’t get ANYWHERE near him. The only time he allows my husband to pick him up or he step up is if he flies off the perch to the floor, but even that is short lived. He will fly away the minute he realizes who he’s standing on.
So we’ve tried everything.... treats, clicker training, point stick training, you name it we tried it. My husband plays guitar and he even tried to sing to Vinny next to his cage to try and bond. But Vinny ain’t having it!
We need help getting rid of fear. He fears my husband. He is perfectly fine with me. I can handle him any which way and he is fine. The minute he sees me get close to the cage he will walk to his perch and lift his leg to step up. So he knows how to do it all just not with my husband. Oh he’s also a little scared of our 10 year old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
