I met Scarlet two times before i brought her home, she was perfect. The only problem i had was with her not stepping up, which makes my problem **** of alot harder.
Anyway, since she came home shes turned into a little devil. The first day i spent being quiet, spending a bit of time by her cage talking to her and feeding her treats every now and then, she was okay but as it got later on in the day she started to scream, i think for her brother who she was housed with her whole life, and from yesterday and today, i have had the cage door open all day today and yesterday she wont come out,she wont let me touch her, she just bites me, hard. I got her out tiday and she kept flying into the walls so i had to put her back, i dont want her breaking her neck or injuring herself in any other way, poor girl. Shes fine though.
So my question is, i called her breeder, he told me to get her out and spend as much time with her as possible, i dont think he really understood her aggression since shes been here, she was such a gentle bird when i seen her the first two times. So how do i get her to stop flying? I cant spend time with her outside the cage because she will injure herself. Also, i wanted to know if i should be getting her out, i just figured if she wanted to come out she would, but is she flying into the walls because she doesnt actually want to be.out the cage with us? The only time she wont attack me is when i give her her.food llol. But if i try hand feed her she will snatch it, throw it, or jusy growl at me. Every other bird i have gotten from a breeder have.been fie within the first day or so. I didnt have any aggression like this. Is it just eclectus'?
Her breeder said he has never known her to bite and he expected her to be fine. So did i. Its like a total personality change. I need help i dont want her to be cage bound, and not be able to come out and hang out with us around the.house
thanks guys
