I have a crippled lovebird and it hates hands. It only takes treats from hands and even then will try to bite you sometimes. Does anyone know how I can tame it? I also have a Conure and am too scared to see if it'll bite it. They were chatting but when I got him closer to the cage he started biting on the cage. I wanna be to the point where it isn't aggressive/scared to my hands and I am able to grab it and make it step up on my flat hand. I will only be having it for a month but I don't want it to sit in its cage for a whole month. I'm still new to pet bird owning and my Conure was really easy. He's a very straightforward smart fella. This Lovebird is a bit more difficult and I am not sure where to start. I just want it to be a little nicer before I introduce the two birds, my Conure is dying to go to the lovebird's cage already.
(I've tried to lay my hand flat with seeds, he was alert calling but I got him to stand on it but dropped him by accident because he started biting hard on my fingers. he wasn't even eating the seed. It's a very wild bird. I'm not sure what else I can do.. take it out and just try to tame it? No idea.)
(it's gone now, my grandma took it earlier than suspected.)
