I have a 5 year old Sun Conure that I got a few months ago from someone that wanted to get rid of her. The Guy that I got her from said that she's really sweet, but they were wanting to get rid of her because she started attacking his wife. They also never clipped her wings and let her fly around their house (but I was a butthole and clipped her wings the day after I got her home).
Anyways, I need help trying to train her. Because she is already 5 will she be willing to be trained?
I can be alone with her and bring something towards my face, such as when im eating or talking on the phone, while she is sitting on my shoulder and she will bite me as hard as she can.
She is very fond of my dad and anytime I take her to his house she wants to jump on him. Now, when ever i'm at my moms house my conure doesn't want anything to do with her. My mom tries being nice and holding her, but she attacks my mom. She can also be sitting on my shoulder and I walk past my mom and my conure will bite me.
I can be sweeping and she will either attack the broom or attack me.
I would also like to try and get her to start talking. She will tell you "bye bye" whenever she sees someone put on a jacket, but its not clear words. Its just different pitched little "merps"
She also is not very fond of playing with toys and I would like her to be. Is there a way that I could get her more interested in toys while I'm at the house with her? I notice that she lightly plays with them when I'm at work, but I never see her playing with them. If I am anywhere near her cage or play stand she just screams.
And I know it's not a very good idea right now with her being so aggressive, but I am really interested in getting an indian ringneck. I know with getting another bird that they should have two separate cages, but I would like for them to be able to interact with each other outside of the cage.
She also is not very fond of fresh fruits and vegetables. I've tried giving her various treats, but she would prefer the fruit mix that I buy from the pet store.
Any advice would be great!
I've been trying to work with her, but she is just so stubborn and I don't know if anyone has had success with training difficult birds.
Thanks again!
