You tell me. Donny is the 2 month old Kakariki male I got yesterday. I did a 15 minute training session with him this afternoon. Doesn't want a bar of me here:  10 minutes later:  5 minutes after that:  Darn that hurt!!! Got a nice 'little' beak mark where he gnawed my fingers!!! I think the training was successful! |

He is still very much afraid of me. Doesn't mind biting though! I've still got the marks.
My mum is convinced he is going to talk.

He's a strange bird. I put my arm in the cage and he freaks. He doesn't stop freaking until I actually touch him. How weird is that?

Yes, mum still loves him.
I actually got to see his dad, he is a heck of a big bird! The lady said Donny will be as big as his dad!
I will be very happy the day he takes food from me.

does he have a favorite treat yet? or is it still a case of "i'll eat anything" lol

Actually the only thing I know 100% that he loves is Safflower seeds. All my kiki's love them.
My mum will get to spend more time with him than me when I go back to work next week so I might lose him to mum anyway. She is very wary of his beak though as the tame male has tried to eat her fingers before.

Hmmmm seeds are a little small to risk losing your fingers over lol maybe he will discover he likes something of a better size over time if he likes berries, you could offer him a complete stalk of them? |
