- 2 green cheeked conures and 1 black capped
hello!
so, i have a very young black capped conure ( about 2 1/2 years old ), his name is Link ( nickname littles ) and he’s as cute as a button. problem is, he can be extremely aggressive at times.
if he follows when my other two conures follow me, he will be calmer, but sometimes when i lean down to kiss my girl conures or just play with them, he rushes next to them and tries to bite me.
this afternoon, about 40 minutes ago, i was kissing and nuzzling one of my girls, and littles rushed over and bit the EVERLOVING HECK out of my nose. it hurt so bad, so i just stood there and cried for a minute to regain my composure before just grabbing him gently ( he bit my hand a tad bit ) and putting him in his cage, where he will be for the rest of the night.
i know i probably should have acted and grabbed him immediately, but like i said i was just so shocked he did that, since he NEVER shows any warnings before biting.
he also gets aggressive when i ask him to step up on one of the three cages i have. i have to lure him with a treat which id like to stop doing, since i dont want him to think this behavior is okay.
i feel horrible leaving him in his cage because he makes little whimpers and just hides in his newspaper, but i dont know what else to do. i love this little guy so much, and i want him to like me back…
please help me!!!
