I have noticed alot of people asking how to tame them
Here is what i do
When you first bring them home let them settle for a day
Leave your hand in the cage for 15-20 mins per hour and talk calmly keep doing this untill s/he doesn't back away from your hand
After s/he is used to your hand slowly move towards her but if s/he backs away wait untill s/he is calm and then try again
When you get next to him/her offer your finger or hand to him/her
i always say up when i put my hand out to them
You could do this with millet in your hand or any other treat
what i also find that works to is take their seed out the cage and place some on your hand and if they are hungry they will have some (Im cruel i know lol)
Also patience is the key and take your time... there is no rush since you have many of years together
QUESTION
Can you tame a wild bird
Answer
Ask Dumpling (3yrs old) & Big mac (2 yrs) they belonged in an aviary for all that time
Also here is a trust exercise you could try too
