Hi
This passed Saterday I brought home my first green cheek conure. Her name is peaches and she is two years old. I got her from our local pet store. I was told she was hand feed. I have her in a good sized cage in our living room.
My question- how do I get her to come to me? She won't take treats out of my hand and she screams like crazy if I have to go in her cage for any reason.
Last night when I was talking to her she came halfway across one of her perches then ran off.
She will "talk" back to me if I sit next to her cage and talk to her but she will not come close. If I say, "be cuite" she will do little flips for me.
What should I be doing to get her to come to me. I would like to let her out to hang and play with me but I need her to come to me first.
