Someone please help me! My husband just bought me 2 conures tonight and I dont think they have ever been handled. The male, is a three year old Nanday Conure and everytime our hands even get close to the cage the feathers around his head and neck area fluff up and he tries to bite. With him came a two year old female sun conure. Her feathers dont fluff up but she does try to bite. They both act as though they have never been handled at all and I want to be able to hold them etc. but not sure of the best way to build trust with them as I'm a first time bird owner. I know that offering food to get them out of the cage can be a bad thing. So what besides that, can I do to get them out of that biting phase? Please help!
