baby randy- umbrella cockatoo he is almost 18 yrs old, he is rescue bird hes beeen thru alot
my Meyers parrot tweetybird was born 09/04/02. 8 years old. and has been through a few people. she is very shy, and bites very hard, she gets so scared when i even put my hands in the cage sometimes. she isnt a total loss of hope i have trained many parrots working at a parrot rescue center. tweety i just got about a week ago i know i should give her more time so i have stopped trying to get her out. also today im going to rearrange her cage and introduce her to a new toy. she is very cuddly previous owner told me and i even saw so i know shes got some love inthere for me. i need to know more about clicker training if that is the way to go. or putting a perch in her cage to get her out. or what. idk how i should approach a parrot that wont even come out of her cage with all doors open alll day.:confused:

Meyer's Parrot
If you've only had Tweety for a week, there is a good chance she just needs more time. I got my Meyers at the end of December. Alcatraz took several weeks to acclimate. Even then he was a bit of a perch potato. I see his personality coming out in new ways every week.
