Hi everyone! I got a new quaker yesterday. He's never been hand fed so he isn't hand trained. Any ideas on how to get started? Thanks!

Welcome! Most birds like millet, but I’m sure some quaker people will be along shortly!

How old is he? Have any pics? Usually the first day a bird comes home, they might need a little quiet time in their cage within being messed with too much, just so they can settle in and get used to the new surroundings.
