hi any tips on moving kiwi on she is half tame and i can take her out in the night only in the day she gets so excited she starts chirping around her cage and when i try to get her on my finger she will step up(with millet)but then has to jump off again becouse she gets to excited so shelle jump around her cage for a while :hap: she doesant seem scared couse shes chirping and cocking her head to listen and when she does stop shelle puff up a little and she closes her eyes when im there she still needs millet for everything i do with her i take her out the cage bt she doesant fly i dont want to getly put my hand out witch gets her to fly but i got her on her cage top for a little :glare:

 

wgen i ment closes eyes like in the night wen i talk to her and she tucks her head under her wing now when im with her

 

anyone?

 

please :ausb: her training hasent changed for weeks any ideas?

I suggest training her with the cage out of sight (after making sure the room is 100% bird-safe). Then again, sometimes people prefer to take it slower and easier and what you're doing sounds fine. No matter what you do, you're going to have to be very patient.

 

As far as closing her eyes and tucking her head back, she's probably read for a nap. They do this when they're sleepy. :ausb: It can also means she's fairly comfortable around you as they normally don't go into such a "vulnerable" position when they think they're in danger.

Pretty loved his cage, it just takes more more. I would take the cage out of the room but then other times just be more persistant and keep going to him and having him step up .

lovey she doesant try to go back to her cage when i take her out she is starting to like coming out but she still doesant fly

great job smily!

 

I have heard that some people dont neccessarily take the cage out of the room, but they just put it on the floor, or throw a shirt over it to hide it...(Laughing out loud)

 

Keep up the good work smily!

hello what really helped me tame birds at the pet shop and at home waas taking the bird into a different room without the cage and always do the training in that room until you think she is really tame then you can progress to the rest of the house good luck hope that helps
