Hey I'm new to these forums and figured I would take advantage of the experienced people here. I have a male Plum Head parrot named Sammy he is little over 1 year now and bits of red are starting to come though. Hes an affectionate parrot that spends all of his time out of the cage.
I attended a course recently to help me find a job and he started getting really stressed out making loud high pitched screeching noises while running around the top of the cage ( i know this because my father was home at the time). Then he developed the habit of screeching like that whenever I leave him alone even if Im just going to the toilet.
So i thought the best thing to do would be to get him a companion while I'm away, this didn't work out very well. I got a female plum head named Korra that is about 7+months old and there relationship hasn't helped the matter. She takes his food, kicks him of his perches, attacks him and has made him more clingy then before.
They have separate cages that sit next to each other because oddly enough when I separate them they seem to look for each other but when they are together Sammy seems to want to avoid her at all costs and spends all day on my shoulder. It also hasn't stopped the screeching at all.
I was thinking of maybe getting him male companion but I dont want to if it wont help the issue. What can I do to stop the loud screeching when I leave him alone?
