Hello everyone. I am the proud owner of Chief: a green IRN.
I got him back in December and after receiving some help here, training seemed to have been going smoothly, that was until this week.
After a week of patchy training, he has gone from taking food from my fingers, and placing one foot on my hand to pluck clusters of millet... to being completely cold to me.
He won't eat from a millet sprig without fleeing to high ground after taking some, he won't go anywhere near my hand anymore now, and he shuffles away/flies away from me often if I get a little too close to the bars too quickly.
Can someone perhaps share some tips? Should I take a different approach to training from now on?
