So is it possible for a hawk head to go through "the terrible twos?" (lol) I've already been dealing with plucking, which started in January. Although that seems to have leveled off, now he is absolutely frightened by EVERYTHING. I'm at a point where I'm not sure what to do, because I don't want to inadvertently traumatize him. It's really weird, as he will act all skittish and standoffish one second, and then a minute later, he is flying over, landing on my shoulder and acting like nothing happened. I'm really confused. He will also attack remotes, which never bothered him before. Some of his toys seems to scare him and then they won't. I've just never came across this behavior before. Usually is one or the other, not so indecisive...within minutes. I'm not sure what would be the best course to take, as, like I said.. I don't want to have him live in complete fear. Thanks for any input.
So far, I've just been moving slower towards him, making sure to offer some treats, and trying to be vigilant about not spooking him, while not giving up and letting him had total free reign.
Could it be possible it is Mopar? Should I perhaps try to house them in different rooms? Mopar, BTW, who is almost 4 now, hasn't changed at all. He is still the exact same.
Thanks! I just don't want to stress him out anymore than he already appears to be. :/
