My first post.

I am the Mom of a three year old Blue-Green Cheek Conure. His name is Eep. I also work in the pet store where I got him. He lives in my home, but he loves to visit the store and my co-workers. He seems to hate me, but he loves the girls in the store. He will go to all of them, but when I hold out my hand to get him back, he rears up and tries to bite me. At home, he sits on his cage and will only allow my daughter to touch him. Simply put, he seems to hate me. I don't know what to do. He gets on my shoulder and bites my ears, he bites my hands, I am afraid to put him near my face. My co-workers can kiss his head and say he is sweet. He can't live in the pet store, they have other birds to care for. I don't know how to endear myself to him like when we started together. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

I'm new to but a warm welcome to a great place.

As for your Conure he has hardly realised he has a new home only somewhere he sleeps until he goes back to the store with everyone he "loves" in fact he may actually be miffed he has to come back with you and away from his flock im afraid.

BUT!! All is not lost you may just need to use a little of the classic- cruel (I hate that word but you know what I mean) to be kind.

Firstly though if he likes your daughter you can control how much interaction they have.I have had similar with my son and it took a month or so to adapt the relationship with careful timings and distraction until my son can freely walk through the house with barely a look from my bird and they have a more balanced relationship.

Here goes,I understand why you take him to the store as he enjoys it but it means you are unable to control who/why/how he socialises with everyone there and therefore trying to use any techniques to overcome his refusal to interact with you is watered down by having so many other "easy" options around for fun with people he knows well.

You may have to bite the bullet and leave him at home while you work but make sure he is safe and has plenty going on with toys/food/radio/tv etc etc.

You can then smother him with praise and treats when you return and start to build your own new relationship with him but one where you are in control and can use all the help you will find here in the forums.

Once you've built a relationship with him which I'm afraid may not be quick you can then re-introduce him to the store slowly whilst ensuring your in control.

I'm sure others here may have more advice but I hope you get things sorted for both of you.
