Hi everyone
I picked up my lovebird (Ben) about 3 days ago and he is settling in well at home. He was hand raised and is about 8 weeks old.
He is definitely still getting the scope of the place but he seems to be pacing the bottom of his cage quite a bit, is this a stress response? Is it okay to let him out to wander around? I have quite a small apartment.
He does seem quite afraid of me. Should I start trying to handle him a bit more now or wait a bit longer? If so what is the best way to begin this process?
I've been sitting near his cage while I study so he gets used to me, and started dropping in a few treats today which he liked.
Thanks in advance!
