I'm sorry if I use wrong terms, but I'm just looking for as much information as possible.
Background: Almost two years ago, a woman gave my father a Conure at a Flea Market. It bites at women, and is terrified of men. Unfortunately, my family has been so busy that nobody has ever been able to sit down and spend time with it (despite it's small size, my mother is scared to death that it's going to bite her).
We've tried rehoming, or giving away, but people just don't want it.
I'm visiting my parents for a month or so, and I can't help but feel bad for the little conure. Is there anything I can do to improve it's behavior, or is it far too late? If I can work with it's behavior, what are some suggestions?
