Checking out the neighborhood
Hi friends!! Looking for advice on my White Bellied Caique's new behaviors...
A little back story: Mango is 5 years old and I've had him a few months. He's so fantastic, active, and hilarious, and I love him, attitude and all. He was such a catch. We also have a blue and gold baby Macaw (7 months) and a Meyers Parrot (4 years).
The Meyers parrot is the newest member, having been added about 2 weeks ago. Since then, Mango has been doing some new things like food grinding and ripping up his newspaper that's in the bottom of his cage. Clearly, this has something to do with Rocky. I couldn't get him to barely touch his pellets and now he grinds them all into dust and empties his bowl. I've put the screen down to keep him from his newspaper as well. Other than this, I don't see any other changes, but I want to see if I can curb these behaviors. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Julie
