Does anyone have a bird that has been 'diagnosed' or they believe has anxiety? I'm not really sure how it works in the avian world. I'm asking because I think Ollie might be dealing with anxiety or something similar (or this is normal and I'm crazy ).
It used to be he would be out of his cage and run around the room and play and be fine, I'd have the TV on or videos playing on my computer, people would be moving around the house, etc. and he never thought twice about it. Now, though, if I have music playing and it is quiet for even a second between songs he will jump or scream or fly around (or all of the above) when the next song starts. Or if he hears a door open suddenly in the hall, or if my chair squeaks, etc.
Is this normal? Or should I be worried about something?
