Every time I walk away from my sun (for no more than 2-3 minutes at a time, usually it's just to grab something real quick), she screams. It's not a noise problem, I just don't know how to get through to her that I'll be back in less than a minute. If she's screaming when I'm done getting what I went to get, I wait till at least 5 long seconds after she stops screaming to walk to her. I usually stay out of her sight so I know she isn't stopping just because she sees me. If she screams before 5 seconds, I wait for her to finish and start counting again. It seemed to work for the first few days but now it's not. Is there something else I can do? I know sun conures scream, but screaming because I leave doesn't seem right.
Another thing is: she likes to chew things. I have several chew toys for her, like rope toys and wooden beads and stuff, but she insists on chewing on things she's not supposed to be chewing on. I always catch her before she gets too far, but then I grab her beak and tell her "NO," and she starts toward whatever she was chewing again. What's the best way to train her? Thanks!
