ok thanks for advice will start over the week end and i wil keep you all updated.....cheers for advice As the question of my mother she is a selfish person tbh

I have had interaction with gemma all her life... But never really handled her she has always been my mom but my mom did'nt pay that much attention to her after a couple of years it was like the novelty worn off. my house is a bit of a mad house she hasnt moved homes she is still in the same place(mother no longer lives with me)......i'm not really looking into tricks at this stage mainly wonna handle her, i.e get her to come to me and behave lol...... when i open her cage she does'nt wonna come out at all, When i put my hand in she puts her head down like she is going to bite me or she just moves away from my hand.......if i put my finger in the cage while the dooor is closed and i say tickle she puts her head down and lets me stroke the back of her neck.... but some times she will bite lol ive been there since she was 6months old so she knows me and i do try spend a bit of time with her but she was'nt my bird at the time to really bother with..... hope this info helps. cheers ben
