Small breakthrough

Post by Adillis »

Today my new 2yo female let me touch her beak. Would like to have touched her head, but she wasn't comfortable with that yet. But baby steps I suppose... I pretty much just rewarded her with a treat every time she let me get closer without trying to take off my finger.

Well, she has now started to get more aggressive and most of the time now refuses to step up and tries to bite just for getting too close to the cage. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. This started a couple days after our visit to the vet, but that was a couple weeks ago.

Problem still persists. Any advice at all would be great. Just trying to get close to her results in a bite hard enough to draw blood. I don't really know what to do with this bird at this point to prevent the biting.

Is it breeding season in your part of the world?
