Bird Doesn't Eat Off The Glove

[Heeroyun]

I have been feeding her on my fist like a month or so on the manning process.

No bate off and screaming when I'm around now. So I think it's time to teach her to hop on my glove but she didn't come when I show her the food on my glove. At first, I think she's just nervous so I put the food away and put her back to bed. But the second day I realized that even I feed her on the perches she won't eat. Only when I put her on my fist that she gladly to eat or else she won't.

Cause I have been feeding her too much food recently, twice than my first bird due to her being a little underweight. So now she feel don't like eating too much, just my wild guess. Any advise for this problem ?

Thanks in advantage.
