I have this baby amazon ( 12 weeks old), who really doesn't like to be held. He prefers to be on top of his cage, and when I approach the cage to get him to step up, he either moves to the other side, flies away lose around my family room and then back to his cage .
When I finally get him to set onto my hand, he flies right back to his cage.
If I hold him to keep him from flying, he is just quacking ( crying) just the same sound as the one he makes when he is hungry.
My question is, do I continue to hold him to get him use to being with me or do I just let him be and risk for this distance to become a way of living for us?
I have not had his wing clipped yet, probably will take him this weekend or should I wait off on that?
