HELP!!! newly purchased IRN frm private owner

Post by Elise »

:roll: Hello Everyone Please Help
3 weeks ago I purchased a female IRN frm another owner that supposedly had her since she was weaned. Bird has managed to come out of her cage twice on her own and did respond to step up command; however other than getting back to her cage and the occ hand fed food she acts like she wants nothing to do with me. Im at a lost. The last few days she has started pinning at me a lot then aggressively attacking one toy in particular while pinning her eyes. she is scared of me and my hand most of the time. can be pretty vocal on a occ. what can I do it does not seem like this bird likes me at all. Previous owner was able to cuddle her and the bird gave her kisses too. HELP!! Im losing hope

Three weeks is not a long time! Take it slow, after all she's probably going to be spending the rest of her life with you. Offer her treats and talk with her while she's in her cage and eventually she'll come round.
Perhaps take out the toys that annoy her, and remember that patience is the key!
