Being me, I'm going to focus on "he would eat from my hand if he were on the perch and didn't find a place to fly away". If he would eat from your hand in any situation, that pleases me (settle down Claire) because it tells me he understands eating from your hand. Nice! I'm sure Claire al...

Thanks alot for the valuable feedback.
I will start with your advise and see how this goes... Do you advise working with him while inside cage, or to have him on a stand?
Also, any indications on age,sex, mutation?
Thanks

What mutation could this be? Also, it is a hand reared IRN, the leg band starts with LB; which se...
