So first I have to say, I got upset at the so called "expert" at Petco. He told me I would have to clip Topaz's wings so I can have control over him. He also said that breeder birds are untamable. (Someone suggested he may have been used for breeding)
So I got home with a new clicker and some nuts. I went and took a sliver of almond in my fingers and from outside the cage offered the treat to him, he took it three times! So I try a nurtiberry but it would fit thru the cage so I opened the food door and stuck my hand in and he took the treat from me.
He is screaming less then he was yesterday and seems content as he beak grinds with a nice loose/fluffy feather. When he screams, I turn my back on him and give him no interaction till he is quite again.
I have hope for him.:yellow2:
