Posted by Ole on 10/17/2005, 10:03 pm, in reply to "Putting in cage" My guess is that he enjoys being outside and have been frightened when trying to avoid getting in the cage. Do not chase him if he flies when you put him in. Do not make any fuzz out of this. If he flies, let him land and calm down. You ought to learn him to accept holding over his claws. Improve the way of putting him in cage so he cannot not fly away from you, and do it calmly without any fuzz. Check if he stares or are afraid of something in or around the cage as well, birds might be terrified for some objects, shapes, colurs etc. This answer is based on a bird that can sit out on your hand shoulder and snuggle, but is reluctant to go inside cage. If this is not correct you must do more. Hope this helps. --Previous Message--
