Tangie; My beloved Sun Conure who passed away in May 2013
Hello, I'm new to the forums, having joined thjs morning. A couple days ago, I got a seven year old female Sun Conure. I got her from a woman that said Tangie's mate had died, as well as the lady's husband. She gave me Tangie and her cage for only 100$. She was very intearctive on the first two days. On the third night, I clipped her wings because I didn't want her getting startled, and then fly into a window or something.
The next morning she wouldn't listen to my Step up commands, and would refuse to exit her cage. She would willingly accept treats and tickles from my hand though. I don't know if it was a mistake to change her cage, but the problem wasn't fixed. I tried making her step up onto a perch, but she attacked it. I even tried making her step up onto one of my family member's hand, but she atacked them too. It seems that I'm the only one who she doesn't attack. Today, I somehow got her out, and she's perched on my shoulder, kissing and preening my hair and face. But, as soon as I ask her to get off, she squacks and nips me. Any ideas for solutions on these problems?
And sorry if this thread is on the wrong forum area.
