Hello!
I am a new sun conure owner! He is about 11 weeks old! I just have a few questions, hoping you guys can help me out!
So, we brought Phoenix home yesterday and as we were putting him into his cage from travel cage, he kinda flew/flopped out. I had to kinda scoop him up because I could not get him into the cage otherwise. Yes, he bite me but I completely understand. At the breeder, he did not seem to mind being help or touched but since being here, he does not come out of cage and hissing and leanings forward with an open beak when I come close to cage or open cage. He was also loud at the breeder, but very quiet here. I am worried that I have ruined the possible bond, by scarring him with the hour long car ride home and putting him into the cage and having to pick him up.
I am really hoping that he will want to be out with me and spend time with me.
Also, he went into a happy hut around 6 pm Saturday and do not think he came out until 7 am this morning and my husband had to tilt the happy hut to get him out because he was not coming. Once out, he seemed fined but went poop..ALOT.
Any advice will be appreciative! Should I leave him alone for a few days and just speak to him through cage? open cage door and see if he wants to come out?
Thanks everyone!
