Taming 2 IRNs

[sahil112]

I just got 2 3-4 month baby IRNs about 4 days ago.

One was hand tamed but using a towel( scare it into a corner , it will jump onto a towel and then remove towel and it will walk on to your hand etc.)

Very bad way of taming but they are very healthy and very active birds with a huge cage so they are happy.

When I sit far away from them they start playing with each other (female and male) and the female goes to rub her beak against the males head etc and play chase. When I try to get close to them they suddenly run into a corner of the cage and hold themselves against the cage bars.

I want advice please on how I can start taming them? I do sit next to them everyday for half an hour and talk to them etc. But would love advice from anyone on here on the best actions to take to start to tame these 2 beauties!

Also how do I get them to take a bath? I have a big bowl in their cage with fresh water etc but it has been hours and they haven't approached it...

Thanks guys

Four days isn't very long! Keep doing what you are doing and they will open up. I wouldn't "make" them take a bath. When they get more bonded to you, offer them baths and such but for now, if they want to bathe in the bowl they can!
