Hi all,
I grew up in the country, and left, after over a decade living and working in the big smoke I was done with it. I have temporarily moved in with my mother and stepfather. My mother is happy to engage or not with my bird however my stepfather takes it personally when my tiel retreats quickly back to me.
I bought him at 13 weeks and then he spent nearly 18 months with just me and two budgies. It is nice he loves me because I love him too but I would like him to be more accepting of other humans.
My stepfather is Texan with a big booming voice and big hands. I have taught him to use one finger. He is quite tuneful and my boy gravitates towards him when he whistles, only to his head.
I just want to know if there is a way to integrate him more into the new family unit.
Thanks
