jendays are so beautiful, congrats on getting them! i have heard that toweling is used to transport them, and the way you use it. however, i wouldn't recommend it. the bird has to want to come to you, not be forced. comming out of the cage should be fun. now look at it from the birds point of view- a giand hand reaches in and grabs him with a towel, he cant move and now hes being touched all over his face, that's pretty scary. i know you mean well, i just dont think its the right way. how long have you had him, he could still be adjusting. see if he will take food from your hand, if not, sit by the cage and talk to him, read to him, and gradually work your way up. do you plan to breed them, most breeder birds arent very friendly with their owners, but then again, many are. if you plan to breed them,get a nest box. also the cage should be a safe place, not scary so dont reach in and chase him around. his wings should be clipped, its safer and makes taming easier. to take him out of his cage, take his food out and put it near the cage door on a table or something. open the door wide, sit on the floor and wait for both of them to come out, he may learn from the tame female. you have to show him that you wont abuse him, he has to trust you, how was he abused before? you can also take him to room, dim the lights and put him on the floor. he will most likely look to you for security, and climb in your lap, at this time you should give him his favorite treats and talk to him softly. but do this later on in the taming process. good luck!
