Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum and parrot keeping and i'm trying to get some advice on how to give my senegal parrot more confidence and be less scared. I've had him for about a couple of months now he is just over a year old but always seems to be scared, when someone walks towards him he walks away or freezes and just stares, sometimes he gets startled by someone walking past and starts flying around.. so far i've managed to change his diet onto pellets and target trained him and he steps up (when he wants to) - but even when target training him he only walks up and down the perch, he won't target the stick if its further away or somewhere else
I'm not sure if i'm trying to rush him to quickly? Any advice would be great thanks
