Hi, my new baby grey is now 23 weeks old. I brought her home 3 weeks ago. She will now step up reliably, take sunflower seeds and cereal from my hand. When it comes to training her to accept touch, I am at a loss. I have done lots of research and read more articles than I can count. But I feel like I am missing something. When trying to train her to accept touch, she simply ducks down or moves and then flies. I have heard and read that leaving them flighted will reduce the chance of feather plucking and biting, but how in the world do you tame and train a bird that simply flies away when it is not interested. I have 2 other greys both rehomes and they were clipped, making touching and training much easier, but one has a biting problem and one plucks. This is my one and only baby that came with no baggage, after having rehome for years, I thought I was equiped to tame and train my new baby, BUT, I seem to be struggling. Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated. Most of the people I know got their babies clipped from the breeder and then let them become flighted. I opted for leaving her flighted, but that may have been a mistake as the taming is not going very well. She will let me touch her back briefly. And I do not want her to become treat dependent in order to do things.
