Topic: Can untame birds be tamed?

[bkmaurer]

Just give them time, and if you want to do that to both, just do it separately where the other bird can't see.  or hear if that is possible, that way the bird has to focus on you.

I am trying that with Forest and Jenny. It doesn't seem to work to well... Those two are so scared of people it isn't funny and I don't know why! When I am alone I talk to them softly, and they look curious but soon start squawking and diving into their box like madbirds! I tried holding them with a glove one at a time, but neither one never stopped biting me! Perhaps I should just leave them alone??

Sometimes they can be afraid of the glove! Try using a stick to get them to step up out of the cage and then place them on a t-perch or a play pen, back of a chair or something. While you are using the computer you can set out a little dish full of their favorite treat and place it as close to you where they are comfortable eating.

Try that.

Yeah I tried that one and the one I used ran under the refridgerator! Heck if I so much as move a leg while they are eating, b/c I sit right by their cage on the comp, they freak out and run into their box. I why they are so scared! They have been like that since we brought them home and  that was MONTHS ago...

Keep trying individual sessions. They are certainly bonded to one another and this can make taming more difficult. Don't give up.
