Untame Parrots

This is Esha and Delilah. Esha is the Congo Grey and Delilah is the Blue Front Amazon. Esha is handle able but not very socialized to strange surroundings. That is livable.



Delilah, on the other hand, is especially wild and not open to being handled at all. She has a wonderful personality as long as you don't want to touch her! Her delicate voice and "Hi Sweetie" is endearing but the immediate response to opening the cage is "Go ahead, make my day!"



She pins her eyes, lowers to a horizontal position, and flares her tail. Don't mess with me is her stance.

To tame a bird like this, takes a lot of time and a whole lot of patience. Sitting near her cage with the door open and just reading or watching TV would be a good way to desensitize her to the cage door being open. From there, small encouragements using food treats and a calm submissive approach with downcast eyes would hopefully eventually get her to trust you and move towards you peacefully. Perhaps her owners do this and have a better rapport with her than I did.

I unfortunately had to trim her nails and wings upon her arrival which gave me a place on her "pooplist" so to speak!
