Well iv been putting these little berry bird treats in with his food. Today I offered him one and he took it from my hand. This is great, as he has not trusted me to hand him food in the past. I was so happy I gave him a couple moor (he gladly took them from me.). next we try other foods. :D

Awesome!!!

Keep up the 'hand work'

Some IRN, most actually, HATE touch but will tolerate it. My Baby will tolerate in on his feet and front, try to rub his back and you'll be slinging off a mad bird. With this, he isnt willing to compromise.

Although, when we are out and not in his environment... I can touch him everywhere or do anything. Weird huh?

George does not mind being touched. He does get a little fussy about having the under part of his wing touched but lets me do it for a short time. He loves having his head rubbed. My tiel Mack will only let you touch his head anyplace else and boy does he get upset. I feel sorry for the people who clip his wings because he not only bites but has a panic attack you’d think the bird was trying to hiss you to death, but after all is said and done he goes right back to being a little sweet hart.

Ricci will mostly let Phil touch scratch her all over, especially when she does the "I love you dance" :lol:

He can even pick her up most times. I on the otherhand would risk finger amputation if i touched!
