Hi all! I picked up my new Ekkie today, he has been sitting in the same spot in his carrier for most of it now. I finally got him to eat a walnut after gently sliding it in there a few hours beforehand, but even doing that he tried to lunge at my hand and then went back to not moving.
It's 6pm now, I'm worried he won't come out at all tonight. And, even if he did, of how I would transport him up into the cage. I have a perch that I could maybe get him to step up onto while having on a glove for if he tried to bite?
He came from an old lady who lived in quite a small house with tons of other birds. It was a pretty bad situation which I'm glad we got him out of, she mentioned that he was slightly aggressive. I've got fresh filtered water and fresh fruit for him right outside his carrier, he wouldn't have to leave it to get some but he's so shy. Any advice would be appreciated! I'll just be continuing to leave him for now while I work at my desk, hopefully he comes out soon.
