Wow. I just got Kiki my Sun yesterday so we're just working on step up for now. Any advice for a first time bird person, especially with suns?

P.S. She doesn't bite and is usually very quiet except when she REALLY wants attention.

Thank You. :)

P.S.S. What do you feed him and how much? So far, I've been feeding him a handful of harrison's coarse pellets, some vegetables, and a little fruit. I use apples for treats. (She absolutely LOVES them). Is that okay?

Hi Mike. Congrats on your new bird. Be sure not to reward the yelling by paying attention after she is loud, otherwise she'll learn to get louder. Always reward good behavior and ignore behavior you don't want to reinforce.

Apples are good to use for training rewards. They do have a lot of sugar in them, so don't make them a huge part of your sun's diet.

Check out my blog or Google "barbara heidenreich" to learn more about positive reinforcement training.

Have fun!
