It takes the tiels a while to get used to stuff (maybe about a week), and Sammy it takes FOREVER!! Literally, I've had a Cholla perch in the birdroom (where she can see it) and it's been at least 2 months and she's still terrified of it.. I'm kinda wondering if she'll ever get used to it :/. Kiwi isn't scared of anything... lol, in fact, he goes whole heartedly into anything, on a perch, toy, etc. hehe! Pepper gets used to stuff fairly quickly too.
