Rio&Molly19
Meeting neighbors
yet again another post... lol sorry.
So I finally got my Tiels Rio and Molly last night. I expected them to be terrified of the new enviroment. Well today they are being super vocal, eating, drinking, playing etc. My only issue is they have never been handled.. The woman who rescued them from an abusive home said the previous owners had them for about 4 or 5 years. So she thinks they are about 6 or 7 years old. They warmed up to me pretty quick, granted they wont let me touch them. but they also havent tried to hiss or bite me....yet lol I slowly put my hand in the cage and they just move towards the back. Ive tried to offer treat (sun flower seeds or small amount of millet) talk to them when i go past them. I have their cage in the living room where me and my family are the most. I know it will take awhile and alot of patience but is it still possible to tame them? I just want to be able to bond with them. I dont want them to be caged birds all the time. If anyone has any tips please let me know. TIA
