EDIT:
If you achieve going on your hand, do not take it for a trip away from cage. This must be done for a short way/time and gradually. Signs of being afraid, put him calmly back. If he get frightened in this situation it will be much harder for him thinking the hand is a okay place next time. But leave more info
: A breeder bird is sosialized with
: other birds and not humans. As long
: as the bird have been treated well
: along the way and not been
: frightened by humans the it should
: be more easier sosializing it with
: humans, but of course it's possible
: in all way, but takes time either
: background options. I talk about
: years, but need more details in how
: it responds to you near the cage and
: to your hands. It probably misses
: the partner(s) as well. If you newly
: got it, leave it in the cage for
: approx two weeks, talking with it
: and offering snack through the bars.
: Find severeal good snacks it really
: wants. Maybe set up a table around
: the cage and eat your food there as
: well. Share with it, BUT stay
: healthy. Sharing food is one good
: way building trust with birds as
: they do this with partners in
: nature. Some meat is ok, but not
: often, potatoes as well, avoid milk
: products as it will cause diarrehae
: and is unhealthy, cottage cheese is
: ok, but not all the time. Salt is
: deadly, avvacoado is deadly,
: chockolade is deadly etc. Look up on
: the net on info on food.
:
: After two weeks, open the cage while
: eating. A BIIIG progress here is ih
: the bird comes to you now for having
: a snack. Don't take it on the hand
: at once. Going on the hand will be a
: part of it later, don't push it,
: especially going on the hand. This
: must come naturally on his way
: coming to food. And once this is
: done, well your one :)
:
: There is alot you can do sosializing
: it. But don't push it and do not
: frighten him.
: This food thing I suggest is one
: way, based on the info, but need
: more. And is not a acceptable method
: in all cases at all.
:
: Google around on the net, but be
: aware of good sites/info and bad.
: Maybe some threads I've left here
: over the time might help you as
: well.
:
: All in all the keywords are: Time,
: patience, trust and knowing what do
: to in all situations before you go
: into it.
