Alright so for a few months I've had a Nanday Conure, he's very playful and very trusting, but he is VERY loud, and I've been reading many different articles and have been trying the "Bathroom Timeout" trick. Basically closing the toilet, setting him on his perch, shutting off the light whenever he squawks, He only does it when I or my friend walks out of the room, or if his dad walks past or he's alone in the room but hears us..
He's only about 10-11 months old, and very smart and outgoing, or was.
Basically I'm running out of options, I've been working for about 4-5 days on this trick and now he seems very resentful to me now, he won't want to step up, he won't talk at all anymore, and he doesn't seem to even want to bond with me anymore.
I love taking him for walks and I know he loves them, now it's the only time he just mumbles things (not fully talkative either). He doesn't seem to respond to "treats" as a reward for the most part.
I need some professional or at least experienced tips or something that might help a bit better, I was saving asking myself for last but i'm not finding anything that works now.
I'd appreciate if actual Nanday owners commented as well, it may be more assuring with first hand experience.
