We love our birds. <\/span><\/p>\n

We love looking at our birds. <\/span><\/p>\n

But some of us have birds that are unapproachable. <\/span><\/p>\n

If we put our hand in the cage, the bird backs up.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He might not even try to bite you but doesn’t want to be approached.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bird basically shifts its body back when you try to approach it. It may just turn around and ignore you when you try to get it to come out of the cage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0First, it’s important to remember that although you might want to pet and cuddle your bird just might not want to be petted and stroked.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes have to strike a balance between physical touch and nonphysical interaction which could be talking or whistling, sharing food or even just being in the same room.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

To make headway with any bird you have to respect its wishes and not force your desires upon them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
If you’re lucky enough to have other birds sometimes having the shy bird watch other birds play among themselves or play with the toys could be helpful. Many of us only have one parrot.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It’s important you recognize your parrot’s daily routine.<\/span><\/div>\n
