Hi all! My cockatiel Charlie is 6 months old and ive had him for just over two months, he was parent reared and isnt quite use to hands yet. I would really like to let him out to fly and get some exercise but the last time (about a month ago) i did, it took me over an hour to get him back in his cage because i didnt want to frighten him. We are making great progress on his fear of hands, i feed him his breakfast from my hand every morning and he almost let me pet him on his head and his belly this morning but got nervous and retreated. this is the best progress so far but as a first time bird owner i wanted to know if his progress if going at a normal speed, how long it took your birds to overcome their fear of hands, and if you have any tips to make him feel more comfortable?
thank you xx
