As you can see from my avi I have an eastern bearded who loves to sit on my shoulder and watch whatever I am doing, she also loves nibbling on earrings, lol...

Anyway, she was SUPER flighty for the first few months, until my husband decided it was time she was tamer. So he started holding her nice and firmly in a position that she could be comfortable in in one hand, then in the other hand he would have bites of her favourite vegies. We would stroke her gently, and over time she just calmed down. Now you pop her on your arm and she runs to your shoulder and sits there quite happily. I think that it took about 2 weeks to get her to this stage.

Hope that helps!
