I would never grab them abbasali except in cases of exceptional need. You will only panic them, set back any trust you have created with them, and then have problems getting them back in. You need to tempt them out with perhaps a perch on the outside of the cage with a little bit of millet attached. Put some toys on the outside too, and maybe on top, and give them time. They have to want to come out.

abbasaliThe only thing that worked with my birdies is unconditional love and patience. I tried hand taming them with many tricks from Youtube, including target training. However, nothing worked with them, for months. I could sense the distance it had started creating between me and them. So, when I told my hubby the same, he told me something which I completely agreed with. He asked why do I want them to do something because I like it. We don't know their past experiences at previous place. Instead, we should let them do whatever makes them happy. So, I stopped everything and just continued singing & talking with both of them, hand feeding them their favorite food, making tasty healthy food for them, providing them their fav kind of handmade toys..and they started bonding with me. I guess they think that God made me just to give them food & toys! Lol. It took a long time, but one day, when I was feeding them their favorite sprout, they started exploring outside the cage, so curious and so cute. They came out on their own..and though they aren't comfy the same way they were in cage..but I see a positive difference in them daily. I believe in letting them do whatever they like (unless unsafe).. I just like to think how would I behave, if I am handled by a giant person and what would comfort me. That always works in understanding their perspective! 🥰 It will take time, just bond with them, without any expectations... Love works wonders! They like it when you sing along with them..and a lot of talking, eating your food while sitting with them (not sharing our unhealthy food and ignore human bitten food too to avoid dangerous human saliva) to make yourself a part of their flock. I bob my head too sometimes or tilt my head 😅 and never stare in their eyes directly. They will start talking to you in their birdie language, which you might not realize at first, but soon you can observe them making contact calls when they are bonded with you, for anything they need - fan, radio or their special treat in my case. Your bird has just recovered from illness. She might need some time to feel safe and secured again. All the best with your birdie..! 🤗

abbasaliI meant when they are new and scared of you, you can always try not looking in their eyes directly, coz that's the way predators stare at them - as I know it. Once they are comfortable, they don't mind anything you do. They are lovely creatures! 🥰
