@BeakFace_ incredible!!! totally awesome the first 5 years of my JJ s life He was terrified by 3 little girls. they didn't let them out of their cage. Did not learn stepping and are terrified of hands. Its been a slow process. He is finally getting to trust me...somewhat. He looks to me for protection when anyone is comes around. He readily comes on my hand or perch when he's out of the cage But not in the cage...yet. He loves to run up and down my arms now and ride on my shoulder. Just about the only thing he will eat since his sister died(she was egg bound) is millet and a little bit of seed finally. I offer him veg an fruit but he won't eat it...yet

@@yvonnemathis1183 Happy to hear about the progress. It takes a lot of trust for a bird to land an be on you. Sorry about your loss its very hard to lose a feathered friend. Each bird can be very different in what they like and trust. As for food most birds like some foods others not so much. Two absolutely love swiss cheese(they seekit out and wolf it downl. My most extreme case Phoenix(8yrs) is finally letting me indirectly pet her head and touch her beak during tricks and treat sessions. She learned to flex(wings out) from other birds doing the trick. I hand feed her the reward a little/seeb by hand at a time and slow sneak in touches :)
