Do you have a small play gym like this one?
Here they are fighting over whom will rule the roost today.
As usual, looks like Baby is the winner.
This is what I use to work with birdies that are afraid of me. This allows them to be 'away' from me, while perched, without fleeing. And allows me to be close enough to play hands-on with them.
25 bux at any pet store. My girls are all big now but they still love that baby play gym and fight over it. It is sort of like the throne, whomever is up there reigns supreme at the moment
Then just have a few plastic toys like this and some spray millet and you'll earn is trust in no time.
And you know yourself, I had the MEANEST cotton-pickin' baby ever hatched.

I'm beginning to feel the same way as ScarletKnight! I don't think Byndi is EVER going to tame his little birdy butt down and let me freakin' hold him or do anything with him. I'm very frustrated AGAIN! I can't even really bond with this bird. And it's really frustrating me and depressing me. I wish I had just waited and gotten a baby! THERE I SAID IT! I'm ready to give up!!!!!!!! SAID THAT TOO.

jen and mikela
first to jen irn are oen of the toughest if not the toughest birds to tame , but ask mikela or dutsun or ne1 else in here well worth it. its liek gettigna pitbull in a ants body. i rank them among the smartest birds up there with grays and yes i mean african greys.
so don't give up if u cna hold ure bird for moe then 5 sec i cna defaneltly help u. mY problems is kinda of a diffrent i can't even get clsoe to work my magic sort of speak.
mikela that gym is not an option at the moement what i want to accomplish is before i can take him out ona gym or anything this bugger freaks if make move stays away from me and you know what im talking about so the gym is out of the question because takign him in and out is what i need to work on first. i need to gain trust he is clipped but still flies away i didn't go the "progressive cut wing clip. he still screams when he is on the floor and run away

when i first got my irn indie she at the time was not tame and about 6 mths old we put the cage near the computer desk so everytime the computer was used she would see us and eventually got used to us now my 3 yr old daughter can play with her as well.i have noticed with him(new ring on neck) when i put my hand in to pick up if i put hand with watch in he is occupied with watch and doesnt bite.now if he is out you cant get away.
