Hi, I'm jayson and just signed up. I have sort of recently brought my son (Riley).... More me,a green cheek (tekno)
When I got him Afew weeks ago the person who I got him (apparently was DNA tested but have no proof) off said he was between 4-5months old and had been hand raised. She had owned him for a month and had gotten him off a breeder. He was in a tiny little cage and she had been putting the cage outside and birds had been attacking the cage. and EXTREMLY skittish. Hates hands.
Since I've had him, he's in a bigger cage has a good amount of toys and is in a safe environment. About two weeks ago he's started comming out of his cage. I give him space when he is out of the cage so he doesn't get scarred, and I talk to him when he's in the cage. Still freeked out about hands in his cage but I only do that to clean and change his food / water. I've recently put some food into my hand and put it at the entrance to his cage and he came down Sussed it out and eventually ate out of my hand but ran away to a comfortable distance.
He loves apples, grapes and passion fruit . And is on pellets. My work hours have recently changed so I don't get to spend as much time with him but make up for thT on weekends. I have researched and learnt to be very pacient, and he will come to me when he's ready, I'm going to keep hand feeding h so he can get used to my hand near him but without intruding his cage space. Is there anything else I can try and do?
