Give her a reason to want to be near you. Positive reinforcement training is the way to go with this.


Every being in the back of their head is thinking:


%26quot;What%26#039;s in it for me?%26quot;


For some reason you were never able to build trust with her.


Figure out what her favorite food is. Remove that from her regular diet. Every time you go near her cage, toss the treat into her bowl. Make sure it%26#039;s itty-bitty...just a seed or a small piece of whatever. This way you can repeat this without her getting filled up after 2 or 3 passes.


She will eventually realize that you being near her is %26quot;pleasant%26quot;. She begins relating you to the treat and looks forward to seeing you whether you have the treat or not.


Next, hold a treat outside the cage for her to take from your hand. You are simply building trust.


Next, open the cage and offer from your hand. After that, arrange the treat so she has to step up on your hand to get the treat. Every time she does anything right, praise wildly! GooodGirrrl!


Move onto her having to come to the door to step up and get the treat. Take it slow and easy. Again, you are building trust.


You have to build that up, and give her a reason to WANT to come to you. Eventually, if she remains flighted, you will probably be able to teach her to fly to you on cue.


Personally, I clip my birds because they are %26quot;Demo%26quot; birds...They occasionally visit schools and travel with me to many places, so it%26#039;s safer that way. Free-flight training is extremely demanding and takes a long time. Clipping is an option for you if you feel you require more control over her environment, at least in her training phase.





Remember, there are 2 secrets to behavior: Everything a thinking being does, he or she is attempting to accomplish one of 2 things.


They are either trying to get to it, or attain it, or they are trying to escape it or avoid it.





That%26#039;s it.


If you think about it, life is driven by those 2 motivations. There is nothing smaller or simpler than this.


Everything and anything a human or animal does involves one of these 2 motivations. If you keep that in mind, training becomes very easy.


If you keep this up and ease her into a positively motivated situation where she sees that being with you is getting her something, she will lbegin to respond positively to your words and presence.


Look up Positive Reinforcement Training. There are tons of websites out there. It doesn%26#039;t matter if it%26#039;s for dogs, kids or birds, you%26#039;ll get the idea.


If you need more help, don%26#039;t hesitate to contact me.


Good Luck.

Reply:You call her a %26quot;Peach face%26quot; so I think she is a %26quot;love bird%26quot; They really are notoriously grumpy, they make threatening noises with beak open as do some untrained parakeets, but believe me the little %26quot;love bird%26quot; can deliver quite a strong bite! They tend to be quite standoffish if they have not been hand raise . So you are lucky that she allows you to hold her. Perhaps your previous one was hand fed and raised if it enjoyed handling. These are very colorfull and active little comedians to watch and enjoy but it%26#039;s very few that become very friendly if not hand raised.
Reply:I actually had a similar situation like this happen to me when I got a peach face. She wouldn%26#039;t bite me, but I would hold her for a minute or two and then she would fly away, the only time she would come near me was when I gave her a treat, and even that was rare. Turned out that she wasn%26#039;t hand fed, so people were strangers to her, I%26#039;m thinking this mgiht be your case. You can do a couple things. Try working with Suki by giving him/her treats often. Another thing is take her into a darker room, not pitch black, but maybe just have a lamp on or something, preferrably the room that the cage IS NOT IN, and try holding her that way, she will be more dependent on you since its dark. Also make sure she has a really good wing clip, this also makes her more dependent. Your last option is to just accept that she won%26#039;t be very loving and either rehome her for a sweet one, or keep her for posterity. Another thought is she might be stressed and thats why she doesn%26#039;t want to be out of her cage. Is she in a high traffic area ie a kitchen where there might be several other people, sometimes lovebirds can be rather skiddish. Both of mine are in the kitchen, but they%26#039;re very friendly, so I feel confident leaving them in there. I don%26#039;t really know all your circumstances, but hopefully these tips will help! Good luck!

Reply:Maybe you should shower before you hold her.Birds have a good sense of smell, and if you reak,then they will go away from you .Do you think your pretty, because birds hate ugly people.
Reply:She loves u....and she loves to be away from u -repesct
Reply:you have to be persistant (im guessing shes a lovebird) they have to be hand tamed from the beginning otherwise you wont have any luck. hand feds are the best...but you also have to put in your time to hold and pay attention to the bird.
