Hello there everyone,
So my pal, Max, is a 19 year old blue headed pionus. Ive lived with him for about 10 years now. Recently I have decided that my parents will live in my house. Since their arrival about 1 month ago, max has been cage territorial, something that he never expressed before. He used to be very sweet but now hes aggressive towards me and only lets me handle him once in a while unlike before when I could hang out with him whenever I wanted to. Along with this my parents tend to stay up late in the kitchen where max's cage is. He definitely hasnt gotten much sleep and its evident to see that hes cranky. So one day i decided to move his cage to a seperate room in the house around his bed time and left him alone. I moved it back to the kitchen in the morning and he seemed to be back to his lazy carefree self. He even let my parents hold him, something that has never happened before. Instead of moving his giant cage back and forth every night should I invest in a sleeping cage and if so should it have the usual: toys, food/water, etc? What do you think?
Thanks!
