Hi all
Does anyone have any advice on taming my boy? everytime I go into his cage to feed him or whatever, he freaks out. he is clipped but still flys pretty darn well!

should i do like the budgies, and just keep my hand in his cage? and slowly get closer to him?

thanks for any advice you have!

hi buuz i do would do the same as what you do with your budgies , talk softly and approch him slowly and gradualy put your hand in the cage. untill he does not freak out then move your hand closer to him when he gets used to it.

I will check it out, thanks for it. Is it for all birds? Most i find on the web seems to work on the bigger birds, not the wee little guys!
