schellp - it sounds like you're on the right track! You're right to just take it slow; focus on earning his trust, but don't put any pressure on him or yourself to reach any milestones by a certain timetable.

I've had a rescue bird for a year (not sure if he was abused or not, but he was not exactly tame when I got him) and the difference I see in him after 12 months is amazing.

While you're in the middle of the training, it might not look like there's any progress, but if you step back you'll probably notice how all the little things are adding up.

Come back and let us know of your progress (small or large)!
