Most birds will need about a week to get used to their new space. Keep their environment quiet during this time, and ensure that you and everyone else in your family give the birds the time and space they need during this adjustment period. Keep pets away from the cage or aviary to avoid traumatizing your new birds. It may be a good idea to keep young children away from your new pigeons during the first week or so. Children may not fully understand why they have be quiet or calm around the birds, and this may cause the birds to think they're predators. As your pigeons get used to you and their new home, it's important that they don't become scared of you. Keep your hands behind your back whenever you approach the cage, and avoid sudden movements. Speak, sing, or coo softly to the birds to comfort them and make them familiar with the sound of your voice. As your birds begin to become more comfortable with your presence, spend more time with them. If your birds are still hiding or cowering when you're near their enclosure, give them more time. If not, study or read next to their cage or aviary for a few hours each day. Reach through the bars or wire mesh of the birds' cage or aviary to provide treats. At first, simply place the treats on the ground. This will let the birds know that you're a source of food and care. Slowly, the birds should begin to take treats directly from your hands. Stay outside of their enclosure the first few times you do this. The security of the cage or aviary will let the bird know they're safe. Once they've eaten out of your hands a few times, either open the cage door or let yourself into the aviary to feed them more directly. Once your indoor birds are responding to your presence and eating out of your hand, they're probably ready to be allowed out of their cage. Indoor birds need to spend time outside of their enclosure daily to keep their minds and bodies healthy, so start this process as soon as you feel the birds are ready.  If you're worried about getting pigeon poop in your house, use pigeon diapers, also known as pigeon pants. They're adorable and practical. Clipping the birds' wings could make it easier to tame them and may be safer because the birds will be less likely to fly into ceiling fans, walls, or out-of-doors. However, some consider this practice to be inhumane. Neither indoor or outdoor pigeons should be let outside for free flights. Once they're domesticated, they're extremely vulnerable to attacks from predators. Pigeons protect themselves in flocks in the wild, and your pair or small group of birds will be unable to do this. Your birds also may not be able to find their way back to your home if they fly too far away. Allow your birds to set the pace of your relationship. Rather than reaching for the birds or picking them up, let them hop into your hands. This will keep the birds from getting scared of you, which could cause setbacks in the taming process. Eventually, your birds should become affectionate and playful.

If no medical causes are discovered, see a psychologist for diagnosis. A psychologist uses diagnostic assessments as well as interview to diagnose dissociative features, rule out other diagnoses, or examine any co-occurance with other psychological  diagnoses.  A psychologist may examine features related to dissociative identity disorder. These are more severe identity confusion disorders. Sometimes, dissociative amnesia can be related to anxiety. A psychologist may rule out anxiety as a cause for dissociation. Besides dissociative amnesia, other disorders exist that involve memory function and identity. When examining features of dissociative amnesia, consider how it differs from other disorders. Rule out other psychological disorders of memory, such as:   Simple amnesia — Simple amnesia is memory loss that results from brain injury or brain disease, and involves a loss of information from memory.   Depersonalization disorder — Depersonalization involves feeling like you are outside of yourself or your body, like you are watching your life from above or through a movie screen or as if in a dream. If you have depersonalization disorder, this will occur on an ongoing or episodic basis. For more information, check out How to Overcome Depersonalization.  Dissociative Identity disorder — This disorder involves having multiple emerging personalities or identities that express at different times in one person. Different personalities may emerge at different situations or events. People with DID may also have dissociative amnesia and/or dissociative fugue. For more information, check out How to Know if You Have DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder. Sometimes, people with dissociative amnesia have other mental health diagnoses. For instance, some people with Cluster C Personality disorders-- associated with anxious and fearful thinking and behavior--  such as Antisocial Personality disorder, Dependent personality disorder, and Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder may have a higher incidence of dissociative amnesia. There may also be evidence linking dissociative amnesia with Cluster B disorders (Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic Personality disorders). When considering a diagnosis of dissociative amnesia, it’s important to explore personal history of personality disorders. To inquire about co-occurring psychological disorders, seek a diagnosis from a psychologist.
