for the first 2 days I just let them in their cage and let them alone. That way they can observe how the house is, noises, etc. Of course with an occasional hello from me or a sweet little tune sung by me. Then after the 2 days I let them out and poke around.

For them to get used to you, I would sit on the floor by their cage and sing to them, takl, or even take a nap. That way they didn't feel so intimidated by my me since I was asleep they could come down and investigate. Once I woke up to find my Macaw (first time ever at that time) on the floor of his cage looking at me. We were only about 2 feet away from each other. And he was really checking me out!

I also sit on the floor by their cage and eat supper as birds are "flock" eaters and love to eat together and I even sit by their cage and read a book.

My best advice it patience!!! Trust won't happen overnight!
