I received some great advice from one of my aunt's regarding "George". I've had George for over a year now and have been unsuccessful in teaching him to trust me. Basically I found out that I have to force him to like me! So today is the first day of birdie boot camp for "George". I took him into the small bathroom and let him out of his cage for him to start flying around. The trick is to not let him land anywhere except on my finger or on me. He was really stubborn and persistent but so was I. Ultimately he started giving in. I spent about an hour with him and he is learning that he can trust me and sit on my finger. He even found a spot in my hair that he enjoyed sitting in. My sister Janice also had the "privilege" of holding him. This is a milestone in me and "George's" life. I think after a few days of doing this with him, he will finally like me whether he likes it or not!
