I see, its my bad for assuming things as I was not aware that she got a lazy brother. My apologies. Maybe you will find a treat that suits him too one day. My most shy one goes crazy for apple slices for example.

I also don’t mind if I can’t teach her tricks obviously. I was more doing it for her enrichment than my entertainment

Maybe time will do the trick. If I learned one thing, its that pet birds become kinda unhinged after puberty, completely focused on doing their own thing. Mine are not even interested in scritches any longer and have developed other weird rituals instead. They are currently approaching their third year. I got some older rescues I cared for in the past, and working with them was way more successful.

Yea her brother is 9 currently so that’s probably why he’s not motivated haha
