New Rainbow lorikeet is Shy

[Abailey]

Hi all

I am a new bird owner of a Rainbow Lorikeet .He is 18 months old and has only been with us a hour. So far he has been shy, quite and placing his head to the side and observing everything. I want to make him become comfortable to his new environment. What can I do to make him loosen up and became more comfortable ?

thanks

You might just want to leave him for a little while to adjust to his surroundings before doing anything, as this can be really stressful for him. Make sure he has everything he needs, food, water, toys, and perches, and leave him be to explore a bit. Is he hand tame or curious about humans, or scared of you? If he's scared try not to stress him out even more.
