Hey everyone, this is my first post. Iām skimming through a lot of the forums but I was just wondering if there is any training guides specifically for Amazons you recommend?
I am a brand new parrot owner and got my DYH Amazon when he was 3 and a half months old, I hand fed him as my personal decision to get him at that age. He is weaned now and 7 and a half months old. He naturally steps up to me with no hesitation, flies to me when he sees me leaving a room, climbs up to my shoulder and he enjoyed the neck scratches too and he loves being around me, however lately he is gaining his aggressions so now, everything that I was comfortable doing with him is now possibly ending with a scab that never heals on my finger. He likes to bite my neck for no reason. He flies to my moms hair and starts picking at it and he bites me if I try to get him off.
At first I used to let him around the house since he flew to the places that were bird friendly, now he is off exploring and ripping things apart. Even though he has 10 plus toys to play with around his designated spots.
He is trained in clicker training (during his hand feeding stage i even trained him to click the target when heās ready for his next syringe, recall training is 70% there, āgo thereā training only works if he knows there is a treat coming.
He is on mixed fruit, veggies, Harrisonās, and a small amount of mixed seeds and nuts, since heās still going and I want him to explore different food options. He has an obsession with Red Hot Chili Peppers from the garden
Heās biting is getting worse and Iām kinda at a loss here. There are times in the day that he just enjoys being cuddled but now it feels like he sees everything and everyone as a chew toy.
Thank you in advanced.
