I recently put a deposit down on a Black Cap Conure. This will be my first parrot that I've ever owned.
When I go to visit, it originally started with me holding him under my shirt but he bit and wriggled out. Our next step was to be in the aviary giving him walnuts whenever he sat close to me but he quickly discovered that he was small enough to fit through the bars of the aviary. Then we tried me sitting in front of his cage talking softly to him feeding him walnuts. I go in 6 days a week roughly 2 hours.
I would like to handle him more or snuggle. How can I gain his trust to be snuggle buddies?
