Hi y’all. I just picked up my new Linnie today. He/she is about 6 months old. Kind of afraid but doesn’t bite. My question is. He was in a huge cage with 2 big doves. They did pick on him a little. I put him in his new cage and he only wants to sit on the bottom. That’s probably what he did in his. Do you think he will learn to get on the perches? Plus any advice would be so great. Thank you.

Im not too sure about the sitting on the bottom of the cage but you can practice target training as its a good hands off aproach which can be turned into trick training which is also a good way to bond! hope this is somewhat helpful and your other question get awnsered soon!

Welcome to the Avenue Donna! 1.welcome signs.gif

Congratulations on bringing home your feathered friend :)
Sounds like he´s been through quite a lot, and this is a big change for him. He´ll need some time to settle in. You can add treats and toys around the cage to encourage him to explore when he´s ready. Ladders and boings to climb up may be a nice way to encourage him to go up higher.
He may also enjoy a platform up high to sit on :)

:hello:

My guess is your Linnie has moved from the bottom last night and is now checking things out. Hope so. But if not make sure he/she has some food nearby and be patient.
