i’ve kept my tiel in his cage all day long since he hasn’t been able to step onto my finger yet. i figured he isn’t hand tame since i got him from the pet store. it’s been my third month with him already.
i hand feed him every single day and i spend time with him whenever i can so he continues being exposed to my presence. he even lets me scritch his head but ONLY through the cage bars. sticking my hand inside the cage spooks him.
is it better to keep him inside the cage until he’s ready to step onto my finger or is it better to let him explore the outside of his cage?
i don’t want to keep him inside all the time since he’ll get bored, but the only way i can get him back in is wrapping him in a blanket. i have let him out before, maybe about 2 times but i’m afraid that it scares him because he ‘flies’ (with clipped wings) across the room to an area where he can hide. help me out with any ideas if you can 🙂
