[QUOTE="Kymura, post: 55105, member: 4072"] I'm still very new at this but I'll share my two cents for whatever it might be worth. Personally don't see any need to handle as I honestly don't think they get anything out of it. Have to admit my new avic sees it differently. It's out and up my arm the moment I open the enclosure, I'm countering this with a fluffy soft blush brush to block it. My G.porteri does the same thing. I don't think it's because it likes me in any way, just nosy or curious. Bottom line is, if they make you nervous in any way or If your jumpy my advice would be to simply don't do it. It's honestly not worth possibly injuring them when there's lots of other ways to move them ^^ Besides, as you get more comfortable with them you'll know them as individuals and be less jumpy. You could always try then. Remember even a short fall [I]can[/I] injure them seriously, even fatally. [/QUOTE]
