I brought home a bonded pair of linnies a few weeks ago. I’ve made a ton of progress with them! They’re comfortable with me, they will ”talk” to me, they’re acting super goofy all the time (going upside down, bobbing their heads, zooming around the cage, etc). I’ve made good and quick progress with target training (Froggy quickly learned that if she chomps the stick she gets millet, haha), and we’re progressing with perch training. As they have been rehomed a few times prior (they went breeder -> home -> home -> my home), I don’t know much about when they were babies (they’re 2 and 3 now). I‘m not sure if they were hand-raised, but they’re not hand tame now, and according to the previous owner they didn‘t warm up to hands in the two months they were there either. I know that they’re pretty new and that linnies in general tend to be hand shy, but I was wondering if you guys have had any luck taming untamed linnies, and if you had any tips?
Just to be clear, I will still love these guys with my whole heart even if they never step up. They’re my babies
