Hello! I hope everyone and their wards are happy and well. As always, I come seeking advice. I may, in the near future, introduce a new human to Boomer's life. I am not talking about the odd visitor here and there so I want to make sure I do the right steps to ensure a smooth introduction.
Boomer is a possessive 2.5 year old sun conure. He tolerates my brothers, mom and female friend to where he would not bite them. He rarely sees these people yet he is accepting of them. On the contrast, he hates my ex with a passion. He would fly and attack him relentlessly, leaving bloody bite marks. It's odd considering the ex helped raised him for the first 6 months of his life. That's where my concern lies. Do you think whether a bird likes or dislikes a new human depends entirely on the bird's impression of them? Can the bird's opinion be swayed or is it set in stone? How did you introduce new people to your birds?
All that said, Boomer's welfare comes before my own. So he gets to have the final say hahaha!
