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
Thank you for all advice. Will check forums for miss k. Patience is my middle name, only with animals though. Not so with people. I feel humans can sort themselves out. Animals depend on us especially if they r locked up in cages or Aviaries. At least they r safer from Predators.

We just spent mone...
