My Formula for Building Trust With a NEW ParrotPublished on July 04, 2025Let me show you how I initially build trust with a newly arrived parrot. In this case, I have a nervous Major Mitchell's Cockatoo that I want to get used to me. I don't go sticking my hands in his cage trying to touch him or take him out. He's probably too nervous/shy to take treats from me right away too. Instead, I sit down and let him observe me. In fact, I sit facing away from the parrot and don't look at him. I keep busy doing something else and let him watch me and see that I'm not doing anything scary at all. Suggested Videos |
