Have had my IRN for 8months now, bought it from an aviary....
Still scared, every time I even come near the cage, starts flying away and clinging onto cage, as far away as possible. Same happens when I put food in, clean the tray/cage.
Won't come near my hand, let alone take food from my hands.
Foodwise, I've tried to give it what I eat, lots of veggies and fruit, but won't take anything besides basic seeds. Sometimes my irn starts pecking/trying to eat his droppings too.....
Don't know where to start, with taming, behavior and food...
I talk to it on a regular basis, so can mumble a few of my taught words.

Any help/advice would be grateful.

I've got a splitting headache so I will just post a link for you to read. Read it a few times and watch the videos.
