My Quaker only goes inside his big cage to eat or drink; when I try to leave him in there by closing the door on him, he constantly tries to open the door and makes this loud, annoying screeching sound while banging the cage walls. After about a few minutes, he flips over the water and food trays, climbs along the cage walls complaining nonstop.
He will concede to sleeping in his smaller budgie-size cage, but only during nighttime when he's sleepy. As soon as he wakes up the next day, he's screaming and banging the cage walls. I've only had him for a few days, and I kept him outside, because he didn't seem to like being inside a cage, and now he's even afraid of my hands thinking that I'll force him inside his cage.
Should I just leave him in the big one for a few days and ignore his complaints? My room's furniture and floor is literally covered in his poo, and I have a dog too and my dog sometimes lick it out of interest, although he knows he's not supposed to, and I don't want my dog to get sick from it by eating bird poo while I'm not looking.
