I had both birds out of cage yesterday... They flew around like they'd been here for a long time... They would land on me, as I was sitting in my chair... I just pretended I didn't know they were there... They would come right up to my face, and were ever so gentle...
It was quite difficult to get them back in their cage, as they're afraid of hands, and don't know how to step up... Luka eventually landed on the drop-down door, and I let him inside... Skye eventually flew to my arm, and putting my arm in the cage, she got inside as well.
Also they're afraid of nothing!(except for hands). They will terrorise Max (I thought I would have to be careful of Max not hurting the conures), and I don't really want that... It might settle down, after they know each other better...
I bought Luka and Skye as breeders, but as they seem quite tame, I would like to keep them that way...
My question is: Should I clip them once, so I can teach them some basic manners, or leave them unclipped and maybe clicker train some manners into them????
