Love your explanation. My situation is a little different. They are rescues, one was terrified of humans. This meant that I had to regularly towel one of them in the first week... he's never forgiven me... BUT doing what's necessary seems to build trust even if it is unpleasant

@parrotsos I watch a lot of this stuff and have adopted what I can. My situation you probably don't encounter, just because I live in Australia. One of my birds (Not really "my" but you get the idea) I suspect was wild caught. That meant he had no concept of what living in a cage was. He was also clipped so I couldn't release him. It would be a death sentence. I won't say much, the people didn't understand, but the way they treated him would make you furious. Anyway, he needed to be caged for his own safety, but I would also let him out for extended periods of time... because he was used to being free. That meant I either had to chase him back, or towel him to get him back in... eventually he learned to go on command, and his cage was much larger than the cell he had before so he tolerated it well. Even though there was chasing and towelling, we were as kind as possible. We still let him out as often as possible because his mental health was far more important than whether he liked us or not. His wings have grown back, he can fly and he is really graceful. And to our surprise he'll come to me, accept scratches sometimes either sit on a perch near where I work or just sit on my lap... true story. My dilemma is on whether to release him now... even though I strongly suspect he's wild, I don't know for sure... release would mean death if he was tame. fortunately I have other birds and he has no inclination whatsoever to escape. And this vicious bird who would bite at the first sign of approach, now happily interacts with me, my children, my partner... none of this was expected. We were just getting him out of a bad situation. My conclusion is that even if you have to do bad things, if it's genuinely in the animals interests, they seem to understand on some level. At least of they are smart and boy are cockatoos smart!
