Hi,
I have a red-lored amazon. He's approximately 21 years old, and I've had him since 2001. However, lately (maybe a year back), he's become more clingy. He can e.g. be sitting in his sunlamp or on his cage, completely satisfied. When I leave the room, he runs down on the floor and sprints to me. Sometimes, he even flies (which he usually doesn't do). This doesn't happen EVERY time I leave the room, but most of the time.
I cannot understand why he does this. I am at home most of the time, in the same room as him. Therefore, it shouldn't be because I spend too little time with him. And he didn't do this a few years ago.
Does someone know why he's doing this and what I can do to stop it?
