Thankyou all for taking the time to read and reply to my thread, its very much appreciated. In answer to danmcq, im not sure of his age as im his third home. Also, thankyou for the link, very interesting reading. Im going to start with the pirch training so please keep your fingers crossed for me. The kids are back at school so i have all day with him again. I will keep you up-dated on how it goes and hopefully get a picture of him on here soon. Thanks again, Beth

Thankyou Dave007, Thats good advice. I have had him for a while so he is comfortable with us being by him, i can also open his cage and hand him a treat but thats as far as it goes. If i put my hand near him without a treat, he doesnt like it at all, sqwarkes and tries to bite. We open his cage and let him out, but again we cant go to close. Luckily he will retuen to his cage himself. I sit and talk to him and sometimes even sing when the music is on and he joins in if he likes it. Is there a way i can increase his trust and move on with him? He hasnt been dna tested, i just say "HE" as he was named Billy and I have no idea of age unfortunalty. Thanks again, beth

Hi guys, Im hoping for some help with my orange winged amazon if possible. I was given my bird from a friend who in turn had him from someone else. Neither of his homes had the time for him and try to tame him in any way. Now he is my i would love to calm him as he is very nervous and hopefully one day be able to touch him. What is the best way to begin training without stressing him out? I hope someone can help as he is a stunning bird with a lovely personality. Thanks, Beth
