Recently, my boyfriend and I adopted his parents umbrella cockatoo. He is a 4 year old. When we first got him, he had a bit of a screaming issue every time we left the room, but we did not go to him (as that is what we read not to do) so eventually he stopped screaming. After that he was perfect for a few days. We could come in and out of the room as we please.
Yesterday we decided to change up his cage with some new toys and perches since he didn't have very many to begin with. Since then he seems to be super aggressive and doesn't want to come out of his cage. But when we leave he starts to scream again.
I'm not sure what to do. At first I though he was just getting protective over his new toys. But the screaming every time we leave was a habit we thought he kicked. I will not be able to keep him if he keeps this up, both being aggressive (clicking his beak, crouching down, hissing, nipping and biting) and the screaming.
Please help!
