- White capped Pionus - Hatched July 24, 2012
Hello all,
My white capped Pionus (Pablo) has been home with me for over a month now. In some ways we are bonding, he likes head scratches, especially late at night. However, he still refuses to take any food from me, and runs away when I attempt it. I have spent many hours taking small steps like putting treats in his bowl and stand there while he's eating, and trying to feed him through his cage. He seems to have some fear of hands, as he often runs away when being approached. He was a hand fed, well socialized baby. We went to visit him every week at the breeder. What do you think the problem could be? Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
