I have recently acquired a sun conure that I was not expecting. My father had owned the bird for about 6 months, but he recently passed away, leaving the bird to me. I’m not sure of how much time was spent with the bird before, and the cage was covered with a blanket when I went to clean out the home and found him. I’ve owned conures in the past, but they were always open and friendly. This poor little guy is terrified anytime someone walks in the room. He runs to the far end of his cage any time I open it, and he genuinely does not want anything to do with me. Now that it has been a couple weeks and he is still not settling, I’m beginning to worry. He’s not aggressive, just scared. I’ve been leaving him be to calm down, but I’m wondering if I should even be trying to catch him and hold him to let him know I’m not a threat, or if eventually he will settle. He does talk and seems relatively happy when he is covered or I’m not in the room. I just am not sure where to start.
