Hi everyone,
In the past couple of days I have noticed that my Jenday Conure (leeloo) has started to become quite dependant on my attention.
Sometimes when I leave the room she shouts for my attention, usually to get her out of the cage.
Or if she knows I'm close by, she will shout for attention.
It's not that I don't appreciate her wanting to be with me as much as she can, and I have her out as much as I possibly can too, I just see this problem progressing over time.
All I want is for her to realise that she can't always get what she wants.
Ive started to deal with this in a calm manner by calmly walking up to the cage and placing a cover over the it for ten minutes, in hope that she might realise that she is not going to win.
Can anyone tell me if I'm going about this the correct way, or if there is a better way?
