Alright so hopefully this is the right area for this, but I'd like to get some advice on taming my newest IRN. I only brought it a day ago at around 6 months, so I haven't a sex for it yet. I'm hoping to tame it over time, I've already had time handling birds, and have hand raised a couple of cockatiels. So yeah, any advice on how this can be done? Once it's adjusted and used to me, I plan on starting the work.

Hello and welcome to the forum :)

You could try target training your newest addition... This takes a while, but normally the results are good in the end.

My was around the same age when I got him...He stepped up reluctantly and was quite shy....He is very food motivated so training him wasn't too hard. Is yours handfed or parentfed?

1 nanday conure Black Jack, 1 Brotogeris parakeet Whiff, 1 ring neck dove Eliza, and 6 society finches (3 are tame). RIP my parent pairs of societies and my little gouldian finches
target training and just be patient and calm. Offer him treats whenever you pass the cage, if he doesnt take it from your hand, put it in the bowl, talk to him, and read to him. I suggest clipping his wings, as this aids in taming, if you want he can regrow them later. Another thing you can do (with wings clipped) is put him on the floor in a room with dimmed lights and some treats. He should crawl into your lap for security, but this is once you have made some progress. good luck and pictures please :D!
