To help a bird overcome fear of hands or handling, you can start by building trust slowly. Spend time near the bird without attempting to touch it, allowing it to get used to your presence. Offer treats or favorite foods to associate your hands with positive experiences. Move slowly and speak softly to avoid startling the bird. Gradually introduce gentle touches or hand-feeding to help the bird become more comfortable with human interaction. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key in helping the bird overcome its fear.
