It's been 3 months since I've welcomed Ares [IRN] into my home. Since then I've seen no progress in him I've heard a bit about IRNs having a 'bluffing' stage so that may be the cause since he is still pretty young. We decided that we'll keep his cage doors open at all times - I've owned GCCs before and this helped me tame them - so he spends his days [and nights] outside of his cage. He has not gone back into his cage in these 3 months and we've moved all his bowls and water onto the top of his cage - right where he sits. He doesn't move from his cage except when I or any of my family get close. I'm not sure what to really do. We talk to him and he does seem interested in our conversations - he moves to the edge of his cage to listen - but as soon as anyone gets close [slowly or not] he just flies around the room. I thought about capturing him at night - when it's dark - with a towel or something to put him back in his cage so I can get reasonably close but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? We tried giving him his favorite foods and that hasn't worked either.
