We've had Rocky six weeks. He's gentle and affectionate with me. But I work full time and that leaves him at home with my husband a lot. My hours are irregular and long, so I can't be with him on any kind of schedule. At first, he and my husband got along fine. He wasn't as snuggly with him, but they didn't have any issues. Then about a week or so ago, Rocky started getting aggressive with him. Today he attacked him and bit him very badly. My husband is now more than wary of him, he's downright scared of him. This leaves us with two choices.
One, Rocky has to be locked up when I'm not there, which makes him scream a lot, which is of course nerve-wracking for my husband and the dogs and not fair to Rocky. Even when I'm home, I can't devote the entirety of my attention to him. I have other birds. I have household chores to do. Some nights I don't get home from work until 8 or 10 p.m.
Two, find him a new home. I hate to uproot him again. He's had so many homes already. I love him and want to keep him, but he bit my husband badly enough that he thought he'd need stitches.
Any suggestions, anyone?
