Hi!
We need help. We have two young caiques less than two years old. The previous owner didn’t really show them affection or hand train them. They can be aggressive at times. One of them has come around a little and only bites if annoyed. Loud which is expected. When they are upset or makes it clear they don’t want to step up we give them space. They can now fly and would like to eventually get them comfortable enough with us to someday put a harness on them. Any advice on how to help them trust us. We sit with them and chat periodically, give treats and praise. Rework and switch out toys in both cages they share, one of the cages is huge it’s more like a habitat so they have space. We ensure they get several hours of sunlight a day and free time. They are eating well. Love fruits and vegetables especially sugar snap peas and apples.
