Re: taming a scared and parent reared Baby IRN , please help

Thank you will try anything. I opened new cage up today for them to get out and wander. Sally went out but not Roie. I used a towel to put Sally back. Sall stepped on my glove+pecked at piece of guava but was off again. Will persist. They love Apple+guava+peas+corn odd spinach+carrots. Thanks all

Re: taming a scared and parent reared Baby IRN , please help
