Settling

Weve had our IRN Gizmo coming 4 days,how long should we wait until letting him/her out of the cage,should our baby get used to surroundings from inside the cage first?

All depends on the bird itself. Was he hand raised ? is he relatively tame ?

Tame, take him out straight up, play with him and show him his surroundings.

Untamed, give it a week to get use to the surroundings, then take things one step at a time.

our baby has come straight from the avery away from its parents,its not hand tame but it seems to understand come on when i call it, maybe its just luck or a very quick learner

I gave my Yoda a week to settle in the spare room. Then I straight up taught him step up and let him have a wonder around. I'd also hold him in a towel once a day and rub his head. Yoda was an avary baby too. They do learn fast! Goodluck.
