I brought my baby home last Saturday, she’s a 1.5 years old Yellow-Faced Parrot.
I have moderate knowledge on birds but this one is putting some questions in my head.
First of all, I know she’s been only for a couple days with me!
What she accepts:
Every other bird I had first became comfortable with me around, and the last step was the neck scratch. This one is the opposite: if I approach her she’s still terrified, but if I manage to lure her to my arm she allows everything.
Does anyone have any suggestions? More specifically how can I make her trust me when I walk to interact with her?

What she accepts:
- Eating Apple and treats from my hand
- Body and neck petting (so cute)
- Me approaching the cage standing up
- Me approaching the cage on my knees (although she accepts it better than standing up)
- HANDS
- Me walking in her direction looking at her
