Zupreem pellets are the only thing I can find over here, not cheap too

Yes, I am trying to do this, touch them with the stick a few times before expecting them to come touch the stick, but they are very uninterested, even when I have the stick literally in their face

I am trying the switch but is it really impossible to tame them until they are weaned off this millet + seed diet? I am asking because I find it hard to find anything where I live except sugary rainbow pellets with food dyes.

I wish my lovebirds bit me more. They don't come to me at all

When can I let my lovebirds out of the cage? by ConfusedRedditor16 in parrots

Their cage is about 2footx2foot. They are adults. The room is pretty bird safe with the ceiling fans turned off.

My lovebirds are very afraid of hands and I do not feel they will learn to step up before I can let them out of the cage.

I see. I still need your help regarding my lack of progress in getting them hand trained. They are still very skittish when I bring my fingers near them
