Hi guys, haven't been here for a long time.
I have a question for experienced conure owners... My gcc Parry has terrible anxiety, all the time. He is always pissed off, makes these angry sounds at me and Coco (my lovebird), always wants to bite me, etc... He screams, bobs his head, draws lines with his beak on the table and exhibits other aggressive behaviors. He is about 3 years old, and this behavior began about 1.5 year ago. He also started over preening a few month ago. He even had one little bald spot on his chest (that is gone now). I took him to the vet, and everything was normal. The vet said that it was the anxiety. I don't know what to do! My other six birds are fine. I'm so sorry for him. I'm at home a lot, and they are cage free whole day and get plenty of attention. Maybe there is some medication for that? Or what can I do to make him calmer? It doesn't matter if I'm in the room or not - I often hear him angrily shred the papers or fight with the bell toy. Or is something wrong with his hormones? I'm at loss...
Thank you!
