I bought a little grass parakeet from the market the other day. Its not hand raised and from its behaviour it seems to never have been around people much.
(I think most people keep them as aviary birds?)
Its the 2nd day I've had it now and its eating apples from my hand, and allowing me to stroke its back a little bit, but it still gets very startled from any sudden movements, or anyone coming close to the cage.
How hard will training it be? How should I go about it? Do you think It will ever be comfortable enough to sit on my shoulder without flying away?
Thanks, any advice or storys from people who have had experience with this would be appreciated.
