I am wanting to teach my birds how to hold their treats like strawberries or something in their claw while using the other to balance themselves but idk how so anyone that can help explain to me how to that would be amazing thank you. 🙏
Hello, I’m looking for a bird humidifier or just something to help my bird as he sneezes all the time. (they are dry sneezes so he doesn’t have a respiratory infection) I just need some help on what to do or get that will help him and he grooms himself a lot so he gets so much dust in his nostrils.

I would love some help and advice on how to handle my two new birds without forcing them. I’ve had Echo for 2-3 weeks and Sonny for just a week.
Currently, Echo is too afraid to leave his cage; he just runs away if I try to coax him out, even though his brother will fly out. Meanwhile, Sonny won’t have much to do with me-if I get him to step up, he immediately flies away instead of going to my shoulder. If I put my fingers anywhere near either of them, they hiss and back off, despite me moving as slowly as possible.
I’ve received conflicting advice from different pet shops and feel stuck. I’ve tried clicker training for two days, but they won’t take treats from my hand to let me praise them (though Echo will take a treat if he doesn’t have to earn it). I’m giving them space so they don’t feel overwhelmed, but I feel mean leaving them alone and worry they are going downhill with me. How can I encourage Echo out of his cage, get Sonny to stop flying away, and know if I’m on the right track?
TIA.
