Ah...I'll have to buy another flat perch as the flat one as too big with the door of the cage there are perches near me but they are natural tree branches.

Funny you should mention that, Vert's cage is next to me and my computer not everyday but some times she will come over to see whats going on. Mostly games like Planet Zoo she likes to watch. But she doesn't do that alot since her old cage broke.

I've tried seeds, again though she likes them in her FOOD she won't take them from my hand, as with nearly every food I've tried on her...Apple and Pumpkin tend to be favorites even then with apple depends on her mood. As for the removing peanuts/monkeynuts from her food...was thinking of doing...

I have, she won't touch peanuts (even in her food), sunflower seeds don't interest her, Pumpkin seeds do sometimes (she much prefures the flesh)...She does love millet, but you can already see why thats a hard thing to reward with. Tried grapes, apple, banana and all those, minus pumpkin I've...

Its...going to be hard as hell training her any time but autum looking it up as the only treat she will come close to me for is Pumpkin...as in I can't be holding the treat at all for her to take it. Actually reading up on it, I'm nowhere near the point I'm able to actually be able to do that...

Target Training? Also shes in a kind of routine which has been ruined by the other cage breaking....

Been awhile since I last posted mostly because I forgot my password to here, anyway... I'm still having large issues with getting my hand close enough to touch Vert, which often wouldn't be an issue....if she was still in her old cage, got her a new cage with a bigger playground on top, as her...

Sorry about the size of the image, and yes I know her cage needs a clean haven't been able to recentally due to having to sort out my Grandma's donkeys but will that shelf in the bottom right be good for the job thinking of starting this tomorrow if I can find any apples that have been blown off...

Yeah I don't know if she will respond to that at all, I've had her since march, just before the lockdown in the UK started, thing is we are pretty sure the seller was lieing about her age (he DEFINITELY lied about the wings being unclipped) so you can see why I'm in a bit of a pickle with her...

Vert seems more intrested with toys than food, I'll have to have a check later I do have this small ledge about half way down her cage, will that do the trick?

I'll try my best, I've not had a bird that I can train like this before, Showoff which was a greater crested cockatiel was already hand reared and its owner couldn't look after it for awhile and would only really respond to myself and his owner (though 3 guesses as to why he was called showoff)...

I've looked through the threads, there isn't much I can do because I can't really get my hand close (as suggested here we are pretty sure she is partially scared of humans due to having her wings clipped, maybe mutiple times) also we found out why she is so screechy in the mornings turns out...

I'm starting to run out of toys to give her haha, most recent change is that we had to take in a few kittens away from our outdoor cats (they are kept in a closed door room downstairs) anyway they are noisy maybe its these kittens. She never used to be like this and its only been recent shes...

Thanks for that also...how do you stop her from screaching every moringing from 7am to about 1pm, I can't really leave the room as my PC is there (I have to job hunt)

Lincolnshire, I'm looking at the parrot society and the closest reccomended vet is Cambridge or Bourne

In my area (my whole county) there isn't a recognised Avian vet...meaning in Vert gets injured its...longer than a hour and a half trip.

Its been awhile since I last posted here, in fact it was before Ol' Verts first moult where she got really rather grumpy and couldn't really do much with her due to it. Upsides, the clipped wings are gone and she looks much better and seems much happier than before. Now the issue is I don't...

Dog wasn't meant to be near the bird actually...someone left a diffrent door open that separates the two 'half's' of the house and the cage is open when I'm nearby so I can keep an eye on Vert Also thanks for the info about moulting, I'm going to take a gamble that Vert could be one of these...

Well Vert is still shivering slightly, though I'm debating is that's more down to the temperature of the room over anything else anyway I'm still struggling to get it to trust me enough to go near my hand or come out the cage consistently. I've managed to teach Vert what a window is, so I can...

Of course, 2 dogs, at least 8 cats...though the cats live outside they are effectively slightly tamer wild cats but they are the most effective way to keep the mice, rats, shrews and voles out the house
