This is what starvation looks like:

PS: Please ignore the tiny cage. I'm a very lazy person, and I haven't cleaned it up in a long time. It hasn't been used lately though

Note that I'm not trying to spam the place, I had some stuff I wanted to upload, but again, I'm lazy so I procrastinated a lot. Excuse my sudden uploads

You're making good progress to have him/her flying to you already. We don't want actual starvation of course. Was Kablooie handfed? Handfed babies associate human hands with food, and like to eat from your hand.

I was kidding with the starvation thing And no, he wasn't hand fed as far as I know. I think the reason why he's trusting me is because he looks at the rest of the flock being handled by my hands. They can have pellets ALL day long, but the seeds are something special that only I can give them, so he must be craving them!

He will be very friendly when you are done with taming him.

Keeping the seeds as a special treat that comes from you is a very effective way to train a bird!

Did he already eat pellets when you first got him? If not, be sure to keep an eye on him to make sure he's getting enough to eat. Some birds are slow learners when it comes to pellets.
