I was able to get some pictures of both of my pals today. I have an appointment with the local aviam vet at 11:30 to get her horribly long and curled nails trimmed and a check up. Currently I must admit that our Zon is not in a proper cage as the cage we had available was for a small bird. While it is roomy enough the bars are far too close together. However, her brand new correct aimed cage is being delivered today.
Last nogjt our Zon stepped up onto my finger but while I lifted my hand up talking to her she bent and took a good bite on my thumb. I am just so confused. She seems to do a gesture to be scratched that looks very much like her gesture to bite (bowing down and sorta puffing her wings). I do not know what to do. I went to the pet stored bought some nutri berries because she will only eat sunflower seeds but even with fruit and veggies the only thing she ate was the sunflower seeds. She did however taste of everything, just never ate any.
The bites are pretty bad and I know important failing in training because I jerk away but I do not know how else to do this. I used a long wooden perch to pick her up and she stepped on it then immediately ran down the perch and bit my hand. She even sounds like she's laughing after she bites lol.
I will not give up on this bird no matter what, but some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Edward
