Introducing myself
Hi Everyone, I just got my first bird yesterday. A male Lutono. I purchased him from a pet store I regularly do business with. This bird was in a cage alone and is now too. He was in the bird room with other cockatiels and other birds.
He would screech when his cage was opened. He doesn't do that with me. They didn't handle him much. Part of the reason I bought him was to get him out of that environment and give him a loving home.
He doesn't like to be handled. I think it will take quite a bit of time and training to get him there. I am looking for tips about how I am going to clean and sanitize his cage weekly in addition to the daily cleaning if he doesn't want to come out. I am afraid of hurting him and making him afraid of me.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Yes, the introduction. I live in Montpelier VT. I'm 44 and a college professor.
