1. it does not seem to be a very vocal bird it makes a bit of a noice in the morning around ten in the morning for about ten minutes and thats it i have put this down to it getting used to it new home
2.the past couple of days when we try to get close to it the bird seems make a noice the only way to describe it is like its crying my girlfriend is convinced its bcus its lonely is she right
3.it doesnt seem to want to leave its cage we leave it open allday its a type of cage that opens at the front and also the top opens up but it only flys off when we put our hands near him but it only lands on top of a lamp near its cage and it will stay there untill we go near it again it lets us get close with our hands down at our side and makes that crying noice but as soon as we move our hands it flys straight back to its cage
4.it as not got any tail feather can anyone explain why this is when we bought it the petshop told us that it was malting is this the reason and will they grow back
5.i have been looking on this site about diet and we have tried the diffrent fruits and chicken legs as suggested but it wont eat anything but the bird food the petshop suuplied is it a case of just keep trying it untill it start eating them i have also try it with millet spary and it as not even touched that
sorry to go on a bit but if anyone could give me some pionters on the best way to look after the bird i would be very gratefull
thanks alot
About taming, please use the quicksearch block on the left side of the forum. You'll find many posts/threads with tips/experiences from other members.
Or you could buy an expensive book, a deck chair, and make a cup of coffee...set up the chair in the avairy, or next to your cage, put your hand still in the cage, read the taming book and enjoy your coffee, ignoring the birds...
When you have finished the book, you will realise the birds have come to trust u , friendly....and throw the book away
Use the quick search as Pab says above
And any questions then ask. _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative'
Your little bird has moved 3 times in a short time, From its original owner to the pet shop, then to you. Let it settle in first. It will then become vocal, while its sunny get the cage outside making sure you fastern any openings for extra security, ( i use a bit of garden wire ). If you have a garden put some dandilion leaves and flowers in the cage ( they love them). Avoid any growing near the road side or any where they have been sprayed. Slices of apples, pear, grapes, tomatoes, greens, etc. Kakies love sunflower seeds and dried chillie pepers bought from pet shops BUT these are strickly as a treat, ( see them as chocolate). When you kaki is out of its cage put a large dish ( roasting dish, or a large bowl no more than say 10cm deep) on the floor with cold water in and in time it will have a bath. Make sure you have a towel under the dish as they do like to splash. Good luck
thanks alot for the fast response to my concerns i will do as suggested to me can anyone shed any light on the whimpering noice that it makes when we get close to him just worried about it, is he in pain of some sort or is he lonely
