Hi all thanks for adding me.
I am a bit confused by the behaviour of my two conures over the last 3 months. I have a male and female who have bonded well and are housed in a small aviary cage. I have a large nest box in their cage which they love. When I first got the female she became sick with a bacterial infection and I nearly lost her 3 times, finally got her right and now she is healthy and fine. I had to take her away for about a week and the male fretted for her. Now when I go out to see them they screech and run into their best box. They are fine when I am not there and seem happy but I don't understand why they seem frightened of me. My make was always good and was talking to me saying Cookie but now just runs to his box and screeches from inside it. Should I remove the box for a while???? This has been happening for about 4 months.
