Does anyone have any idea how to hand tame lovebirds? I bought Rin on Saturday, he's 7 months old, and since then I've been talking to him, sitting near his cage and putting my hand in the cage for 10 minutes about 2/3 times a day --- trying to get him used to my hand. He doesn't freak out and flap all over the cage, but he does move away from my hand and hang off the side of the cage, looking at my hand, still. Sometimes he'll chirp and eat some of his millet that hangs from his cage. As soon as I take my hand out, he settles back on his perch. Am I making progress? Do I continue doing this? Should I leave him a week or two before trying anything like this? I really want to tame him and I'm willing to do anything. He's a very sweet, laid back guy and he usually climbs about his cage, eats, and chirps when I leave him be. Someone who can give me step-by-step instructions would be my saviour :') Thank you for any advice you can give me!
