I've recently taken over the care for a 13 year old Senegal from my MIL and he is mean! Only me and her are allowed near him, but he will attack if I outstay my welcome in his cage...which is basically feed me and be gone. I'm trying to get him to warm up, I bought him new branches and tons of toys but he's still not warmed up beyond accepting that I'm the one who feeds him. I have 3 young children so I can't spend hours trying to form a bond but I want us both to have a friendly relationship so that he can eventually get some out of cage time.
Would buying him a new larger cage maybe be a way to please him? He's not huge on change (it can take him a bit to accept new types toys he has not had before). I'm just at a loss...I put him in the kitchen so he gets plenty of people around him, I chat with him. I play senegal birds talking and it seems like he's lonely since he gets very excited, but he's not welcoming of other animals so a friend is not the best idea. Any ideas are very welcome Thank you.
