What if my parrot (indian ringneck 9 month old) wont take a treat from me? i have tried (millet and seeded honey bell, fruit etc) he is just petrified ive had him 5 days ive been very patient with him not tried to be pushy but he still hides at the back of the cage if i put my hand near the cage i'm trying power pause method at the moment but he still doesnt trust me i feel ive tried everything. I dont think he was hand fed. and he hasnt even made a tweet he just grinds beak, tucks in foot

@Dynquaz it's been 5 months since I put the comment xD and yeah I did build trust between us he allow me to pet him cuddle him tho still wont step up to my hand it more likes to step up to my shoulder (tho kinda hate my ear and sometimes bites me lol) still wont allow me to hand feeding him :/

[Dynquaz]

@kidflash2010 have you had a negative experience from hand-feeding your bird? Most parrots, especially African Greys. You should try re-build the positive reeinforcement so that your bird can have the trust where you will be able to feed it from your hand. Firstly you will want to start off with getting your bird to allow you to touch it. Since the trust of touch hasn't been established here, you will have to use ( or try giving him/her a treat) vocal encouragement so it will know it has done

i would give my dird a treat but she doesnt like to eat out of my hand and she doesnt seem to like a food sooo much that it could be used as a treat

[kidflash2010]

I need Help It's like my parrot rarely eats from my hand so how am I supposed to treat him ? he always drops the seeds I give into the floor ... I had this grey African parrot for like 3 months now I spend the time teaching him not to bite I got it working so no more screaming and no more biting unless I touch a feathery part of his body (Can't figure how to solve this) but yeah other than that I can touch his beak play with him and no biting... so Can you help me ? :< Pm me or replay please :<
