I would say Mango is settled in his new home now he makes noise he plays with his toys he acts normally and he has been introduced to the cockatiels and they get on great at first Rocko was a little scared which I would say is because of his bad experience with Rio and still Rocko hisses at him if Mango flys but they are ok together.Well anyway I let Mango out of the cage everyday so he knows he wont be locked up all the time and he still flys away from me and im just wondering how to I proceed to feeding him treats.I have tried through the cage bars but he runs away.Should I remove his bowl at night and try in the morning?

Have you tried training hom with his favorite treat? I suggest find out wut his favorite treat his n only give it to him if he comes to you. N dont let anyone else give it.

Yep, I think taking out the food at night is a good idea. That's what I used to do.

You don't want your birds to starve of course, but it's fine to let them get hungry and work with them then. They're much more motivated then! Be sure to give their regular food back to them before too long of course.

I took his food out last night and I woke up to him screaming for food so I put some seed in a spoon and he wouldn't come and would just fly to the bottom of the cage to get away and then I tried with it on my hand and he wouldn't take it and then I tried millet and still didn't take it.If he was really hungry enough to scream he should have taken it.He now has egg in his cage I dont know if he ate some but I know he likes it because he was eating it yesterday and I put the leftovers in the fridge.

Start smaller. Take the food out and give him food (in his bowl) when he either relaxes around you or comes closer calmly.

Being ur pet dont mean others dont interact or help care. Like zorro is my pet but everyone interacts with him. Thats why i suggested treats only from you just incase.
