Hey Everybody!
So im a proud owner of 8 parrots which is very friendly and tame except one,
my Crimson Rosella named Charlie! Ive never really had any problems taming my bird or any other peoples birds for that matter untill i stumbled across this stubborn but beautiful little parrot. I started out with the usual by leaving him alone in is cage the days after his arrival and eventually i gained his trust so that he would eat out of my hand.
so now im trying to get him to step up on my hand which he actually does from time o time (been trying for 2 months now). but i dont get any farther than this, even though he steps up, it still seems as he uncomfortable doing it. i walk around in my house with him on my hand giving him sunflowerseeds and other treets he likes. i also walk with him outside while my girlfriend walks our dog and occasionally i even let him take a shower beside me. but he never gets really comfortable or relaxed when im doing all this and i must say i have never come across such a hard bird to bond with!
So my question is, is the Crimson Rosella harder to tame/bond with than other birds? Do you have any advice/feedback? any good experiences to share?
Any advice and comments are more than welcome!
i'll also post some pictures of him!
