I got my green cheek conure five days ago, I got her from a breeder and shes 11 weeks old. She seems to trust me as she follows me around and doesn't like to be left alone. I played with her toys outside the cage so she knows how to play with them, she has a chewing toy, a noisy toy, a colorful toys and many perches on different levels, ill be getting her a sleeping hut too. I feed her zupreem pellets and fruits.
Shes a bit nippy too. The moment I close the door in her cage when she goes in, she climbs down and paces the door entrance and climbs all the way to the top and falls down and demands basically to be let out. if Im in sight she goes crazy the only time she plays with her toys is when im out of sight. Which sucks because the computer to do my homework is in the same room as she is in. Her pacing stresses me out, makes me feel bad cant focus or ignore her too long if im in the same room, shes only in there when i eat meals, in the kitchen (coz she will follow and im scared she'll get hurt) or when im at work, and she sleeps at 7pm to 7 am.
when she bites i put her in the cage with no treat and exit the room, when I have to put her in when shes being good i give her treat, I play with her in the cage but the moment i close the door, even if im sitting there with her she'll freak out and i can hear her saying " how dare you human!?"
I was just wondering if anyone had this issue and what did they do to resolve it? did they get used to it eventually? because even when she finally calms down (only when im out of sight)the moment i go to the bathroom or kitchen and she seems me, she stops everything she was doing, playing or eating and paces and demands to be let out again at the bottom of the cage.
It's nerve racking, it's only been five days and I cant get anything done because of her.
my other thing is she rubs her beak everywhere, on me on the floor and i know they do this to wipe if there is food, but she doesn't have any. or hasn't even eaten.
Her name is Pluto by the way.
