I own an 8-month-old GCC who used to be the sweetest thing in the whole world, but as of three or four days ago she has wanted nothing to do with me, she bites at me when I take her out of her cage, and she puffs right up whenever I try to handle her. I usually put her right back in her cage when she does this and she will climb up onto the wall of my cage and try to bite my fingers as I latch her door shut.
She was just starting to get better last night, I was finally able to take her out and sit down with her and pet her without angering her and I was having a little bit of hope.
Then she started to get angry out of nowhere, I had absolutely had it, I had done absolutely nothing wrong to anger her so I picked her up to try and bring her back to her cage and she tried to fly away from me.
When she jumped, I accidentally grabbed her tail and that kept her from going anywhere and she panicked and began flapping around trying to get away as I was trying to give her a hand to stand on.
This morning I tried taking her out again and she was flapping her wings again trying to get away from my hands. I'm worried I just made the situation worse and I don't know what to do to earn back her trust.
