Okay, before I start this I need to say, please try to be civil, please no comments telling me off, suck it up, etc. (This community seems very nice and, logically, I know I havenāt seen anyone do that, but I am a very anxious person), This is hard enough for me already.
So. I got my Amazon parrot years ago, and since then he has caused so much hell in my life. He has his sweet moments, but honestly the pain he has caused, both physical and mental, has overpowered that. I have tried training, treats, heck, someone told me to out him im a time out and I unfortunately tried that.
I was told he was going to be very sweet and gentle, and he was for a week. And then he started tearing up my hand, neck, face, he even goes for my eyes! He has attacked me, my mother (who is getting up there in age and has very thin skin and blood, meaning it takes just a scratch for her to bleed like crazy), and My other animals, including my little birds. He has made my conure bleed before, and Iām afraid he will do worse when he gets the chance; especially to my smaller birds, who wonāt stand a chance against him.
I have no time for myself or the other birds because Iām constantly an anxious mess, and Iāve had several nervous breakdowns because he causes me so much stress and anxiety. Iāve thought about this for a LONG time, and all of the pros overpower the one con: that I might miss him. I just still donāt know what to do. Iāve tried everything there is, research, multiple methods of training, Iāve even bribed him with treats just to make him leave me alone (I know, thatās not the thing to do but I was desperate).
I already know someone who has experience with aggressive parrots who will take him, but I just canāt make myself do it for some reason. I honestly donāt know what to do, even though all the signs point to giving him to a good home.
Thank you.
