I recently brought home a GCC for my 9 yr old daughter . She had been wanting a Quaker parrot for 2 yrs now . When I went to the pet store the employee suggested a GCC instead as they tend to be friendly and less loud . I was able to hold one and he seemed fine did not offer to bite and seemed really sweet . Fast forward a week later and we have a totally different bird ![Woozy face :woozy_face: 🥴](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f974.png)
. He will not willingly come out of the cage but once he’s out he’s happy to hanging out on our shoulder and chew on our clothes aggressively. We are currently trying to step up train but our little Noel is not treat motivated at all we have tried every treat we can think of ! We finally figured out he will step up on a perch and since he doesn’t accept treats (or if he does he takes it and tosses it ) we reward with a very excited “ good boy Noel”.
He will not step up to our hands ! Which I feel is important as a first step in bonding and building trust . I know my daughter is trying very patiently to bond with him but I feel we need some guidance so we don’t turn our lil Noel into a tiny terror accidentally. Please help!
