Hey all, new here and Iβve been having some issues recently with our Ringneck (Flippers).
I got her last year September and is going to be a year old in May. She currently has her cage in my bedroom due to space.
Problem 1:
The contact calling has been going on for a while now, she would start as soon as i leave the room or go into the en-suite bathroom that i have (Whether she is in her cage or out). She knows straight away that there is no one in the room and will start calling. Iβve been working on this by leaving some music on when i leave her and make sure she has enough to forage and play with but it doesnβt seem to help.
Problem 2: Contact calling when Iβm in the room.
The contact calling also happens if she is in her cage and I am at my desk facing away from her, she will cling onto the front and go at it!
This behaviour has now gotten worse to the point where she will now call when she is out of her cage, with me in the room with her. I will be right next to her trying to do some training or just generally interact with her and she will start making her call. When she does I ignore it and walk away from her, but it seems like her behaviour has declined.
Im at the point where Iβm not sure what to do with her, am i doing something wrong? Or are hormones kicking in? Is she going through any major changes now that she going to be a year old?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
