Sometimes your hand coming towards them is a little scary. I used to just open the cage and call my cocketiel, and he'd come out when he was ready.

Sounds like from your question he didn't do this before he moved? He's possibly a bit nervous or insecure because of the unfamiliar environment. It might be worth getting a favorite treat for him and each time you put your hand in, give him it then take your hand out - do this for a few times and he may be less nervous. Then when he jumps on your hand, move him around, give him a treat, then let him off. Next, when he's on your hand, take him just out, give him a treat then put him straight back in. It will probably take lots of baby steps to gently encourage him to be more confident, and if you do it in a positive, gentle way, hopefully you'll have him out in no time.

do no longer pay attention to the guy who says the merely grab her. you will destroy any believe that she has in you. She is probable frightened of you or being careful, thinking the undeniable fact which you in basic terms placed your hand in and grabbed her. You on no account do this to any chook. they are going to promptly affiliate the human hand with being violent and could the two run off (such as you stated she is doing) or attempt and nip at you. I even have an aviary in a room in my homestead that at the instant has 12 cockatiels. they are all very loving and that they've been all bought from puppy shops and that i had reachable tame them myself. you're able to desire to furnish your chook time. extremely some the birds I had have been hand tame interior a month. 2 of them took 4 months in the past they might even get on my finger. It merely relies upon. My maximum recent male chook, Ollie, is barely 8 months previous and he became already especially hand tame as quickly as I have been given him yet he nevertheless has his moments the place he gets frightened and merely does not want to be dealt with. Birds are very comfortable and can be dealt with as such.

You're never supposed to stick your hands in a birds cage. That's his domain. Open the door and let him come out first, and then pick him up. You'd be scared too if a huge hand shoved it's way into your home.

A lot has to do with your moving, The bird knows it is not in his same environment. he needs time to adjust. wait until he comes out of his cage before trying to take him., Don't forget your invading his home and privacy.

you need to talk to him or her more.... and if it has a mate forget about it cause all that they think about is there self and it might bite you.....if it is single leave it's cage open when you are around to make it free to come and as it pleases then when you put your hand in there they will sit right on your hand with no problem

birds are very smart and emotional. alot of birds do mind incoming attention like that, but require patience and personal space. talk to him alot. they need more than just hands on attention. birds are like infants, they need alot of precise care and understanding.
