A wild Australian King Parrot's first perch on my hand.

Australian King Parrot. His first time on my arm and hand.
This Aussie King Parrot has been refusing to let me give him seeds from my fingers for about a week. He kept on turning away from me.
And then to my surprize a few minutes ago he's decided to gently climb onto my hand to get at the seeds. I'm slowly trying to wander around with him while he dips into a feed.
I've read many times that "experts" say that wild AKP's are always wary and scared of humans.
But I've had heaps of these birds decide to treat me as though it's natural to crawl all over me and even come inside and walk about as though I'm very much a part of their daily life.
Here's a couple of female AKP's "warily" attacking me
