do they like to be rubbed in the area under their wings?
Re: best place to rub??
my irn is now 7months old and i started stroking her from her head to her neck, we got her at 10weeks old, as her trust in me has grown i can now stroke her all the way down her back to her tail, her tummy and now under her wings she will now lift a wing for a gentle little tickle. she now likes neck rubs as well, i needed to do all this to get her used to being handled so i could get an aviator harness on her for when we go outside. she loves to shoulder sit though but the only time to get her to cuddle is after shes had a shower with either myself or hubby, i wrap her in a handtowel and give her a rub down to dry her off and she will happily cuddle for 5 mins like that.

I had the same experience. My bird hated me touching her tail/wings/feet at first but now she's pretty much good with all of those. Haven't quite got her comfortable laying on her back or letting me extend her wings out yet... We're working on those. I'd like to harness train her too!claire31 wrote:my irn is now 7months old and i started stroking her from her head to her neck, we got her at 10weeks old, as her trust in me has grown i can now stroke her all the way down her back to her tail, her tummy and now under her wings she will now lift a wing for a gentle little tickle. she now likes neck rubs as well,

my advice would be to get the aviator harness slightly more expensive than others but i reckon the best, i tried doing as the dvd suggested and was patient but was taking too long so decided to go for it and put it on ollie, this tactic worked fine for her and me might not do so for other birds though depends on their personality i guess, i also use a face washer to cover her head sometimes this she is used to as she allows me to wrap her totally in a towel to dry her after having a shower so i can give her a rub down, and she plays peekaboo under rugs so shes quite content with having her head covered. she also now knows what "ollie outside" means ive tried to post a pic with her in her harness but this site does not let me and we cant work out how to do so.
