Hello so Im going to get straight to the point because Im at my wits end with my bird. Ive been around MANY birds growing up but they were never mine personally but i would still take care of them etc. I finally got a bird for myself and I feel like im losing my mins. He never stops screaming for things he wants. If he wants affection he screams and then when I try to touch him he screams, bites, and runs away. Then i give up and he runs back to me and nudges me to like pick him up or pet him and he does it all over again. I put him away for bedtime and he screams. He legit never in his cage long except when Im at work or when there are days where I am just not able to take him out due to handling personal stuff but even then I try to take him with me everywhere so he gets enough outside cage time etc. Im legit just damned if I do and damned if I dont. Hes super sassy and Idk if its because he's a baby (Ive only dealt with more older birds so it could be that) but for him to basically be quiet I have to get him and pet him literally non stop. I cant leave his side I cant stop touching him like heâs extremely bipolar. He is a sweet bird and I love him but like I canât do ANYTHING for more than 2 seconds without him absolutely losing his mind and throwing a tantrum and I donât know if thats normal but its so unrealistic like I wanna be able to use the freaking bathroom for 2 mins without him going bonkers and biting me and screaming.
his cage dimensions are 18x18x24? Again hes never in there long I plan on getting him a bigger cage later on. He has a bunch of toys he doesnât really like many of them and he has a whole variety he just prefers ripping apart my things. Ive thought about getting a sound proof blanket or something so his tantrums are like not as bad. Ive done research about just ignoring him and its been months and he hasnt changed. Ive tried doing treats and he wont really eat them like hes just so sassy its his way or no way. Sorry for my vulgarness but heâs legit only chill and content when heâs living up my ass 25/8 and I cant do that because realistically I cant do certain things bc it can hurt him.
*I apologize if this doesnât make much sense or if it comes off as I donât care I love him a lot but he definitely makes sleeping hard for me and I just want to find something to fix this issue because its not ok*
