Green Cheeked Conure: Kiwi
Pacific Green Rumped Parrotlet: Peeps
Hey everyone i'm having a huge problem here with Kiwi. I went out of town for 8 weeks working for a friend and I didn't take Kiwi or Peeps. I have 6 bro's and one sister so they were definetaly kept busy. But when I got home I got the terrible news that Kiwi is really starting to screech. I've tried ignoring it and I thought I was doing ok, but really, it does NOTHING to ignore him. He'll eventually shut up but then just starts back up again. This isn't a 24/7 deal, but he's waking me up int he mornings because I guess he wants to come out. My rooms downstairs and we only have a small window so they're away from all the activity. (but this is the only place that they will fit room wize) Just now he was screeching when I was gone and now as i'm typing this he's eating and all puffed up and very very quiet. Should I reward him when he's quiet. I used to train my bird Peeps with this training program I got him, should I start training Kiwi to get his mind occupated? As i'm typing this it's a beautiful day out(and I take them both outside)so everyones outside, do you think it's just because he's really lonley? I'll admit that he definetaly can't stay in one spot as long as Peeps, he's very ambitious. He has a really huge cage but he dosn't seem content in it, maybe I don't have enough toys? I don't have enough money to buy him more and more and more and rotate them every week. Please please help me in this area, i'd really appriciate it.
