Need Advice or suggestions PLEASE

[Poohsbirds97]

Ok, some of you may have read the post I wrote about the IRNs for $40. Well it was true, and the very sweet people wanted them all 3 to stay together. They were parent raised so not so sure of everyone. Well, I brought all 3 home today.
I am unsure how I should go about taming them. I am letting them get settled in before I start anything. They are eating, playing, and just seem right at home. Should I seperate them from the one cage that they have been in since birth or should I try to tame them all at once? They dont try to bite but they will not step up or anything either.
Please let me know what all of you suggest.

Someone gave me an untamed IRN years ago and that was a hard one to tame.My advise would be to separate them and work with them individually.You will get more accomplished that way.If you leave them together they will try and go after you trying to protect each other.I wish you well in what you are trying to do.Just be patient and it will workout.

Oh goodness. These are babies, about 3 months old (will be 3 months next week), do you think they will still be just as hard to tame?

If you want to keep them in the same cage then take them out one at a time to train. Take them well away from the others and use treats (sunflower kernals work a blast in this house lol). Maybe use a bathroom so there's no distractions and let them sit with you and just talk to them.

definately do it one at a time...in a bathroom works best...for me anyways. (the less distractions the better.)

Thank you for the advice.......new question, if I decided to keep them in the cage together, would they try to breed? I am not sure of the sex yet(thats on the list when we go to the vet). I think I may seperate as to give each their own space.

[Courtzrocks]

They might try breed (not for a while though and probably not if you don't have a nest box). But yeah in my opinion I would give seperate cages just to give them a chance to chill by themselves, they can always play together out the cage.

Hi Pooh! Just checking in to see how it's going... how are you getting along with the babies?

[Poohsbirds97]

One of them, I named Pickles, is wanting so bad to trust me. He/she will come over to the side of the cage and make the little call till I speak. The other 2 wanna stick together and not participate...lol. So, they have had their week to settle in and see what happens around here. Now time for the sure work of taming, seperating them and clipping wings this week. Slowly of course, I am not gonna do that all in one day. It's a slow process but we are gonna make it. And Chief took his first flight yesterday, and down to 1 feeding so not much longer.

Okay! Your plan sounds great... just don't lose sight of your goal, and stick to your plan. The pay-off will be the best!!
