Hi everyone!
I'm new on this site. I recently signed up cause I have a huge problem. I have a blue crowned conure he's about 22 years old. I have had him for about 17 years. He was my buddy, I was the only one he trusted. He would never let anyone else in my family take him out of the cage or handle him besides me. So when I moved to Toronto a year after I moved him up with me. He was happy that he was finally with me. He has always got jealous when I had people over and that's the only time he would never let me touch him. Then about 30 minutes after they leave he would love me again. Well, one day I was having a very bad day. And he was squeaking A LOT! So I hit his cage out of frustration. It's been a week now and he won't let me take him out even when I look at him is puffs up and starts biting his toys like crazy. I don't know what to do. In the 17 years I have had him he has never acted this way towards me ever and when he has been mad at me he's gotten over it in a day. He's like a totally different bird I don't know what's going on with him and I don't know what to do anymore! I know he's an old bird so I was wondering if he's feeling sick? Or if he's simply just really angry with me and I lost his trust. But after 17 years you would think that something simple like that wouldn't matter. Help me please!
