Hi guys. Themba is a wonderful Maxi Pionus parrot who is 5 and 1/2 months old. I bought him 3 and 1/2 months ago. We have a great relationship with one exception. He is still afraid of my hand and will not allow me to touch him. He runs away or flies away as best he can. (His wings were clipped before I bought him). He refuses to step up. There are times when I need to transport him from one area to another area and it’s an ordeal. I’ve been using a soft paint brush to coax him from place to place. This can take a considerable amount of time and there are occasions when I need to transport him quickly.
I’ve taken your advice and remained patient, but I’m at my wits end. I am thinking of buying a small animal catch net. Would this be too traumatic to use? I found this one on Amazon: George Garden Animal Catch Net
