I know it is best to tame young, but can you tame older parrotlets.
As many of you know, I have a pair. Due to the virus I have been able to spend a bit more time with them and I twas thinking how nice it would be to get them finger tame with stepping up etc.
They are about 2/2.5 years old. In bird world I know this isn't lots compared to small mammals etc.
They have always been a bit skittish so I try just sitting in the room and they calm down a lot. As I am typing this, they are both sat out on the cage mounted playstand as I just redid their cage and gave them a good clean.
So, how late is too late to tame them, and how should I go about finger taming them?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am sorry if my question is a stupid one!
