Hello!
Yesterday I purchased a baby parrotlet from a local breeder. He is 3 months old. He was hand fed. He has a large cage with many toys and a variety of perches.
I am looking for any advice you may have! I have had other birds before. Currently, I have an Indian ringneck. In the past I have had quakers and parakeets. However, I have never had a baby bird before.
He is currently friendly, but skiddish. I'd love to know how to gain his trust. He came from the breeder on a seed diet. My indian ringneck eats pellets and I'd like to switch the parrotlet over to pellets eventually.
Additionally, at 3 months old, is he old enough.to start eating fruits and vegetables in very small quantities?
I have heard about people clicker training with birds. What are your thoughts on this?
Please share training tips, diet tips, bonding tips, or anything else you think may be helpful.
Thank you!
