Post: taming a scared lovebird

Posted by Miss T on 12/08/06

Hi All,
I was given a one year old black capped lovebird about 3
months ago. I think it's a boy. He is kind of scared of
people near his cage and definately won't let anyone put
their hands near him. I don't know if he was abused or
not...maybe he needs an older bird to show him people are
ok? I want him to trust us and really I'd like to let him
out of the cage for excesize...just not sure how to get
him back in after without stressing him or getting bit.
Should I just leave him in it? How can I get him to be
less scared? Does anyone have any advice?
