my IRN is 1-1½ years old .. he is getting matured and getting ring on his neck
i bought him when he was 6 months-1 year old..he was wild .. he is still not tamed but in control .. at start he did'nt eat from hands ..but i am feeding him with my hand now .. he is still not tamed and still afraid of my hand
my question is can he still be tamed? and if yes then how?

those are his pictures .. his name is Pikoo :)

Absolutely! it will take time an patience, but there is no bird that is untamable.

offering treats, ect are great! and they help build trust, but target training and learning to step up are the key, a bird that knows to step up is a beginning to a trusting relationship.

there are alot of videos on youtube that show how to do target training, and that will speed up the process of learning to step up. that's where i suggest you start. these birds are very smart, and will figure out targeting and step up very quickly!
