Parker male BF Amazon hatched 5/2/2012
Charlie unsexed BF Amazon hatched 1994?
Juno Female BH Caique Hatched 6-3-2013
So I have had Charlie for 2 weeks now... I really don't mess with her other than to feed and water her and change her toys( she is a BIG chewer)
since I put her in Parkers old cage she won't come out...she came out of the old cage onto the door but not this one...I don't want to stress her out by messing with her but I want her know that she can come out if she wants...as far as being able to hold her I have only tried once and got bit rightly so ( she let me know she was gonna bite and I kept pushing the issue)... other than just giving her time is there anything else that I can do to get her to trust me. I know she might not ever want to be petted on like Parker but I do need to at least be able to move her from one spot to another. She hates/is terrified of any type of stick object. I was gonna try target training but all she does is back away...she will take food from me and I can touch her feet through the cage but other than that she just sits and climbs around and "talks" to Parker...
