I need some suggestions.
My budgie has a hobby of trying to chew the wooden framing on my windows. I've been trying to stop this behavior for months. Distracting him, offering food, putting him away when he does it, etc. Nothing is working, and his out of cage time is starting to be a lot less than I would like it to be. Almost all his toys in his cage are wooden, so it's not like he doesn't have enough to chew on. He also has a bunch of toys outside it to play with that aren't wood. Last week he chewed an entire yucca log (about 8 1/2 inches long) hollow in a day.
I know their chewing is instinctual, but it's getting to be a problem outside the cage. How can I lessen this behavior?
