His name is Cuba, I bought him from a petshop. They couldnt tell me if my bird was a male or female. So i am pretending its a male hah. It is very comfortable in its cage, loves all the toys it has, eats the seeds, and eats the vegetables and protein i place in a tiny plate (for teacups). He also drinks his water too. I did a lot of research before i got him, so i knew how to introduce him to knew foods. I made him a swing for his cage because it was too expensive at the petstore for something i could easily make. It its made from wood and wire. I wrapped it in a cute pink fabric. He loves to sleep on the swing i think he made it into his bed haha. I also play music for my bird, i found that soo far he loves to listen to Ruth Brown. Also Big Mama Thornton and many more blues artists. He also loves some rockabilly music ive played for him lol. He doesn’t like New Age music which is weird lol. I played him some mozart on the first day i got him but i think it just scared him since he was in a new enviroment and it was bedtime for him when i got him. But he got comfortable fast. Ill still try the Mozart Effect on him though haha. I put a mirror in the cage on the floor, with feathers i got from Michaels, covering it on the border. I also talk to him and ask him if hes comfortable and that he looks very pretty and try thinkin of words that start w the sounds of K and T and stuff cause i read somewhere off google they liked those sounds. His cage is also next to a window in my bedroom which i open the blinds and curtain every morning when i take of that sheet blanket over his cage. So he can get sunlight he also make conversation with the birds he hears in the tree next to my window. His bird cage is in my bedroom btw. The only noise he hears is music from my laptop which i play for him lol and it gets him hyper usually thats what gets him to start eat the the vegetables and proteins and fruit on the plate. I have had the bird for a week.
So now you know about Cubas Cage and a little about him and me.
On the days I can allow him to fly around in my room ill open the cage door and slowly display my hand w my index finger so he can stand on it. Some days he will have no problem and some days he will fly off the the corner. the bird cage is not very huge. just enough for one bird, its the 3 or 2nd biggest size i think.. its the one with the two bars for the birds to stand on. So i’ve just open the cage door and let him fly out whenever he feels most comfortable to. which he does after he listens to music for like ten min lol. and after he flys for like 3 mins he flys next to me or a couple feet away but still next to and falls asleep. then with a lot of patience he will go on my finger and let me slowly walk him infront of the door in his cage and he’ll fly in and stand on his bar lol and ill tell him Good Cuba! or sometimes i say “Cooba” or ill say Very Smart Parakeet or something lol
so how do i make him trust me more? i mean its only been a week but he got comfortable fast. god its so cute when he puffs up before he sleeps and he makes that sleepy tweet sound. lol
so anyone can help me with anything i can do better or stop doing or anything that is irrelevant that can still help me lol usually when i have questions i just type it in google and read forums or websites haha.
thank you everyone for your time!

wow u must really care about him if u wrote all that. thats sweet.
u just got to earn his trust obviously, but just feed him his favorite treats when u see just the least bit of improvement and be nice with him oh and by the way it will take some time to get him to fully trust u it always does with birds so don’t worry he’ll come around.

You could try clipping his flight feathers. It might make it easier. I know when mine has them he is all over the place! But if I clip them he loves me more than anything. But to get his trust…just give him toys and treats…introduce him to sugarless cereals and stuff like that!
He will get there.
p.s. He sounds so cute! I’m glad you read up on him before getting him. Most people don’t and end up not taking care of them properly. It’s good to hear someone does their homework first!
