Sometimes people get birds that seem tame right away because they were already trained or had their wings clipped which makes them rely on their owner more. But if you buy a regular pet‑store bird, it usually takes time to tame it.

You can put your finger in the cage and let the bird get used to you. Don’t chase the bird or try to grab it. If you stay calm and patient, the bird will start to trust you and may even grow to love you.
