Ok so, at the risk of sounding like a petulant child, I want to ask - when do they start to WANT to be with you? I mean, roughly, how long is “normal” for taming to the point of wanting to be out and about? I can coax him, I can place him in various places, such as my shoulder or knees, on his external perches etc. but he still shies away for the most part. Once he’s on my finger/hand, he’s ok. But convincing him this is a good idea is still hit and miss. It has been 18 days of short, frequent tries using high value treating, (millet), am I asking too much? Keep in mind I’m used to dogs - who always bond with me in the first 10-20 minutes! Any ideas what else I can do to make myself more palatable to the little guy? Thanks!!
