Hi every one

[jotoeng]

Hi I'm new to this forum and hope I can learn many things to understand more about my cag..

 

Recently I own 2 cag..... I haven't DNA test them yet cause its hard to find to do the test since..... I'm from Indonesia anyway...

 

My first cag named smokey.... It's a wild and agresive parrot and hard to come near by.... He will growl and try to bite... I'm still trying to tame anyway... Smokey just want to eat sunflower seed and corn... Always refuse to eat other fresh food and pellet.... Still trying to switch his food... Its so great that I found this forum... Hope I can learn a lot here...

 

My other cag named Olaf... I got him when he is just around 7 week (my friend is a breeder) and hand feed him... Olaf is so gentle and attach to me... He always whistle when I call him... Or when he see me nearby.... Olaf eat almost everything I offer since I try to introduce him with many kind of food.... Now he can do some trick like step up.... Shake hand and spin...

I just offer him sunflower seed as a treat when I train him... Now Olaf I in flight training... Sometime he try to fly around the house... Hopefully I can train him to fly when I call him

 

Regards

Hello and welcome to you and you, Smokey and Olaf. Feel free to ask any questions you have and tell us more about your life with the "boys." Post some pics when you have a chance!

So glad you joined us! I have faith that in time Smokey will settle down and be more open to you, but it will likely take time and much patience. Olaf sounds like a sweetheart! Please read through as many threads as you can, and feel free to ask questions and share your experiences with us. Welcome!

Welcome to the forum. Olaf has had kind, respectful treatment from his breeder and from you. He learned already you are a good person. Smokey doesn't trust you yet. I believe if you don't try to get close to him too soon he will watch Olaf and learn from him that you are okay. When he growls to warn you, stay back and speak gently. Maybe if you offer Olaf's good food to Smokey in the morning he will be hungry enough to eat, mix some of his preferred corn and sunflowers and bit by bit he may try new food. It will take a lot of time. I brought home a ten yearn old distrustful parrot three years ago and we are still working to earn her trust. Be very patient with Smokey and your reward will be great.
