only time she wants anything to do with me, is when im puttin food in her cage, if theres just a finger, out for an attempted pat (shes only let me pat her properly twice, and only for about 5 seconds) she will just bite it, and not nibble, turn her beak sideways, nibble a few secs, then CHOMP. this has only started the last 2-3 days really, she has stopped comin outta the cage by herself too, even if we leave the doors to her food/water open, and i dont wanna stress her by makin her come out.
Step up just isnt happenin either... u put ur finger in there, and watch out, ur gonna lose some flesh if shes on the right angle. gettin her back in the cage when she does come out, isnt an easy job either, eventually gettin her back on the spare perch (get too close with ur hand and shes outta there) slowly movin it to her cage, she jumps off, get her back on, try again, get near the cage, she lands on it, sometimes wanders around on it more, sometimes goes straight back in.. what an effort, were trying, shes not compromising. lol, typical child!
Last night i tried to bribe her out with a piece of apple, but she was smarter than that, and acted really absorbed in her seed, watchin me outta the corner of her eye, then pickin up a dropped piece of grape and eatin that as if to say - HA! i dont need to come out for sweets - cheeky lil irn
occasionally, u might go to to talk to her, she turns her back on us!! rudeness! lol so i go round that side, talk to her, keep makin her look at me eventually she stops, and just stares at you
... almost glaring, we spend as much time with her as we can, and spoil her a fair bit, but make sure she gets lots of fruits (not so many vegies yet, not sure whether to do cooked or raw)
some1 one help me plz, lol shes our only 'child' and already bein a brat haha, any tips, muchly appreciated, now i go back to try talk to her some more... wish me luck
works better than a single kernal she can run back to her perch with YAY! shes on top of the cage now, im happy to leave her out a while, not often she comes out willingly.
(Its those that are characters as adults)
If I'm on the couch she's there with me, if I go into another room she will fly around looking for me and then when I walk up to her wherever she is, it's flutter the wings, hunker down and cluck and coo until I pick her up.. usually she's so into the cooing and being a tart thing that I have to pry her little toes off of whatever she's latched onto and I ccan very nearly put her on her back for a tummy scratch now as well.. complete and total turn around.. though it was a trying few months until she settled in and decided to be good birdy.
