Zoey

Oh well...I keep trying and I have to say we got pretty far already.. When we first got her...well..she didn't let me come near her..she bit me really hard..several times..and myself, never had a parrot before, it took a lot not to pull away, but we made it..and like I said before..she is a cutie..wants to cuddle all the time... I am glad i found that forum and I am sure I will post an update on Zoey:-) thank you for your support

Thank you so far. I can't just leave her on the cage..I have two dogs and I really don't want to leave all the guys without any supervision. So right now she doesn't get that much time outside the cage, because I am having a really hard time to get her back in... Yesterday I just tried to pick her up with both hands and put her back in..so far so good...she held on to the cage and wouldn't let go at all...so..she won again...............:silly:

Hello everybody, I am new here and i am also a firs time parrot owner. I got "Zoey" from a certified breeder and she is 5 months old now. We got her 4 weeks ago. In the beginning she wouldn't let me come near her..complaining and biting...i earned her trust by now and she is a really sweet girl.. She just doesn't want to step up when she is inside her cage or on top of her cage..anywhere else...no problem.. Do you guys have any ideas what i could try? I would love to take her with me around the house and we bought a second cage with a great playstand for our screenroom...which would be sooooo great for her..but she won't get on my hand and let me bring her there.. When she accidentally falls off her cage on is on the floor...no problem..she lets me help her and carry anywhere... If she would just know how much better everything would be for her... Right now i have to really think about opening the cage door...it will take me forever to get her back in the cage... HELP!!!! Thank you Meike
