It is so hard to not just pick Papaya up. I know I am doing the right thing by letting him settle in and come to me first but I am going crazy not grabbing him and up and petting him.
I know it could take quite a while for him to trust me. I actually relish when he flies off the cage so I can ask him to step up and sneak in a couple of scritches on the way back to the cage.
Actually he's doing pretty good- just me that is impatient. He will come over to me on the top of his cage if I stand there and give me a kiss if I ask him and he is even reaching over to put one foot on my shoulder.
