She obviously prefers your company to being left alone on her play stands. Is there anyway you could move her cage and play stands to a more active area so she could have more company?

Can you rearrange her area so that she can still see you when you leave the room? Maybe give that a try.

"Quinn C. Pickle" Dusky Conure born 12/14/14 home 3/18/15
I am no where near a pro...Quinn is my first bird....but I have been working on training him to 'stay put' when I leave the room. It doesn't always work and usually the first time I leave he'll try to follow me but I calmly put him back where I want him to stay and tell him to 'stay put' and that I'll be right back. I then come back in after a few seconds and praise him for staying (if he did) and then lengthen the intervals of time I'm gone. After about the 2nd or 3rd time He'll stay long enough for me to switch over a load of laundry, etc. It's almost like he needs a reminder every time I leave that I'll be back and he can wait for me quietly.

Like many parrots when they are young, an many older ones too,
They feel safer when they can see you and rest of flock. Even from a distance. My Grey will fly looking for me then to me if I'm not in his line of site. My sengal is same way. My Zon, is a bit older and a little more independent but still dose not like being left alone except at bed time and nap time.

So true. After our vet visit, Husband, Venus and I pulled into CVS. I got out to run in while Husband and Venus stayed in the car. As I was walking into the store I heard a distinct "BEEP BEEP", LOL!!! I turn to look and Husband is rubbing his ear, she didn't want to be separated from me. Even at the vet, I needed to use the restroom so I took Velcro Venus with me. It's flock, family, buddies, safety, and more. I try to stay in their view, answer some flock calls but not all. Toys too, but you might have to work with your bird to teach them to play and self entertain. Very important, patience and persistence.

My birds have a toy box full of bird toys I rotate now and then, still, if I'm not seen, toys mean nothing. But I found switching cages and perches during the day helps.

I can relate to travel and having to run in the store leaving bird with my wife...Or my Grey makes wolf whistles at people and One lady turned and looked at me with a dirty look, I pointed to my grey. LOL.

All my rescues: Pepita, Rocky and Eva, my Quaker Parrots Clover and Sweet Pea, YNA Willie Buttons, and TAG Coca.
I've solved the problem of following me another way. They both sit on my shoulder hanging on for life while I switch the laundry from the washer to the dryer, hop on top of the folded towels in the basket, and then get carried back upstairs. Sometimes Sweet Pea sits on my chest grabbing my sweater while hanging on to the nose-piece of my glasses (staring into my eyes) while we dust and clean, or vacuum. Clover and Pea are my attachments. They're a type of modern earring I wear on different parts of my body....

Some people have tattoos. I have parrots.
