I'm a new bird mamma and am looking for help with Kiwi, my five month old black capped. I've only had her a few weeks, so I'm certainly not expecting anything from her. But She is still terrified and bites anytime I offer her a treat. She has a large cage, lots of toys, and my other bird, Mango, who is allowed out and visits her daily by cage side, grooming her. At this point, should I completely ignore her for a week or so until she starts head bobbing to show interest, or what? When I try target training her, like I do Mango, she bites the heck out of the stick and then tries her best to bite my finger when I reward her with a treat. I'm near both cages for 3-4 hours a day, so she can see me. I know it's me doing something wrong with her, I'm just too new at this to know what!
Thanks for any advise
