Kiwi doesn't seem to like me. When he finally steps up, he wants off. I work at home, so he's always on his cage. He doesn't want to stay on me. He seems afraid and unaffectionate. I try to get him to talk, but the only time he practices is when I'm in the other room.
How do I get him to want to be my buddy?
How do you teach birds to talk?
Any additional advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Bird Brain
P.S. This is my first bird. I have had him 2 months. Kiwi is 7 months old.
Help, with bird interaction

Hi. First let me and Caruso, my IRN welcome you and kiwi to the world of IRNs.
Second:
Then that might explain it. You see, the cage is his SAFE haven. It’s HIS territory.
Maybe you should try taking him into a different room, away from his cage. Then work and play with him.
Third:
You could try saying ONE word over and over again and record it on a tape or cd. Then play it all day for him.
P.S.
please post pics of your IRN.
