Hi, I bought a new 5 month old ringneck parrot and she was very scared when we got her. I bought her from a pet shop who told me that she did not have human contact and thus might be afraid but he said she was semi-tame. I think she was in a poor condition in regards to cage space and experience, and the guy handling her roughly did not help her fear.
However, one week in she is eating, drinking and even making sounds and even though she seems comfortable with me close to the cage without showing her my hands, at the small motion of my hand, which is not even directed towards her, she kind of flinches and moves away. People told me she is still young to be tamed so there is a chance to be bonded with me but some people say that ringnecks have a natural phobia of human hands?
Do you think she is old enough to be untame and not bond with me?
Thanks in advance
