Hey Guys,
I have decided to get a Green Cheek Conure (after changing my mind 100 times). I am off to see babies this weekend. They will not be ready for 4 weeks so I am going to get all the info I can before I pick it up. So, I have brought home untame cockatiels, tamed and trained them but never brought home a hand reared baby. So it's really important to let the bird settle in of course, but what is the best way to do this. Do I have it out the cage straight away in the living room and give lots of reassurance and treats or do I just leave it alone and let it come to me.
What did you guys do when you brought your babies home and what is the best training method for the "nippy" stage?
Thanks,
Fiona
