Neither of my birds were finger trained when I got them but Tiki was so much more receptive to training and trusting then Apollo is. Apollo will just perch as high as he can in his cage all day and will not come out even for treats. I eventually took out his perch and now he spends more time out...
I have tried all of these things time and time again but he panics anytime I get near. Ive even tried to get him to come to me with millet like I did with Tiki but he won't even come near me unlike Tiki who practically loses his mind from excitement. I just don't know what to do.
I have a budgie (Apollo) who I've had for about 6 months and he is the most shy bird I have ever known. My birds are free to fly around my room (don't worry its nice and safe for them) but Apollo very very rarely leaves his cage even when his buddy Tiki does. Tiki is the most playful energetic...
