Many bird fear new things, touch it yourself, should your bird it is safe.
I have a pair of cockatiels, they often take weeks or over a month before they get close enough to a new toy I put in their cage to actually play with the new toy. I gave them a 1/2 a grape the other day it took them over 24 hours to be brave enough to even touch it. Then only the female ate it and my brave male had no interest other to just peck at the grape.
I bought my bird a little playground thing for her to use when she is outside of her cage!! She is always out of her cage, as soon as I open the cage door she flys out onto my hand, but whenever I bring the playground thing near her she flys away and goes back in her cage! Why is this?? It is unusual??
