Flighty green cheek
I have recently gotten a new green cheeked conure and it is an extremely flighty bird. It is supposed to be a hand fed bird but anytime a get close he flutters right off his perch onto the ground. I owned a green cheek in the past, I hand fed it the final week myself, and never had any problems like this. I worked in pet stores for several years with handfed green cheeks and none were like this. He does this to both my fiance and myself but he seems to prefer her more once we have finally got a handle on him. We have had him about a month and it has only gotten worse. Anyone with any tips or ideas?
