Hi, I'm a new umbrella Cockatoo Owner, and I'm looking for advice on some things, My baby is around 12 yrs old. He is a male, we have had him for about 3 months, The first few weeks he done great with my husband and I, he started to having hormonial behaviors, which we put a stop to. He then would chace me and go to my husband, then he starting biting me so i would put him in time out in his cage for about 30 minutes or so and tell him no no, and would repeat several times a day, then now the last week or so, he will have NOTHING to do with me, i go to give him fresh water every morning and evening, or to do anything with him thru out the day he goes CRAZY! My husband walks in the room and he puffs up and starts talking and will step right up on his hand, if i go near him he flys which he can't very far cause his wings are clipped. I try to give him treats all thru the day (sometimes he will take them from me and other times he just starts going crazy in his cage. I have let him out to go on top of his cage, but as i can't get him to get back in his cage, I have to call hubby. LOL My husband and I are home all the time.. Is there something that i could be doing wrong, WHAT can i do to make him come to me and be my bird, my husband don't care for him, and it's just heartbreaking that i would love to just be able to hold him and love on him, but nope wants to go to my husband or even when my daughter comes over she scared of him and he will go right to her, but not me. Is there anyway of changing this around!. Please Help. Thanks and God Bless
