OK first of all your bird is beautiful! Secondly apologies for the delayed reply. I've been back at work and have hit the ground running.
I did try just using my camera phone, but I'll definitely try using OneDrive or Dropbox. I took such a nice photo.
Anyway, it's now going on three weeks and he's still very very scared. I'm trying to stick train him in the meantime because I'd really like to let him out his cage without it being traumatic to get him back in. I haven't let him out in three days because the last time I let him out I eventually had to towel him because I just couldn't guide him back to his cage. I am getting concern about how long I can keep him in his cage for without him becoming scared to come out. He's very comfortable outside his cage but like I say, getting him back in isn't a great experience.
I can come pretty close to him, and my hand can be about 10cm away before he panics and retreats to the back of his cage. With the stick I can almost touch him before he flies away from his perch (I only do it when he's on his perch).
He's eating very well. Still sticking to his seeds. I bought him a honey seed stick thing which he enjoyed but he's not yet eating any of the fruit or vegs I give him (I've tried carrots, apples and grapes (seedless)). And he knows when it's feeding him, he only eats from the floor of the cage and he's down there within seconds of me putting down more food.
But I just want to be able to touch him now! Kratos loves his cuddles (he practically goes weak at the knees) and I want Speckles to enjoy that too.
