How to tame a bird??

[shecarknee]

Hey,

So i recently adopted two conures ( taco and tequila ), taco is 4 and was a hand raised bird were as tequila is 1 and hasn’t been handled. taco is really nippy and tequila is really flighty. Is there tips on getting them used to my hand and to tame them?

Thankyou!

You'll want to dedicate plenty of time to properly socialize Taco and Tequila!

First step is to earn their trust. If they were properly hand-raised, your attempts will be sort of a review and they should progress nicely. If not, you'll need to be patient and let them progress at their own pace.
