10 months....
That's how long it took.... gotta be proud of myself for being THAT patient (I'm sure not known for excess patience). But, after 10 months with me, Mr. Nino finally went for it....
He stepped onto my finger with one of his feet to grab a treat that was just slight out of reach. A few minutes later, he landed ON MY HAND and started munching away on his "reward peanut" I just sat there with an open mouth in disbelief! Moral of the story - never give up!

Congrats Bee! Was there ever any doubt that your patience would be worth it in the end?

Bee, I am just seeing this now -- I am DELIGHTED for you and Nino both :)
Well worth the wait, I'm sure. I hope that Nino continues to become a more confident parrot with your continual love and care! -e-
