Hi everyone I have had a parrotlet for quite a few years now and I got him a new cage recently and he loves it. He loves it so much he doesn't want to come out of it. Sometimes I will take him out and he will fly right back in. He also hates the color red. Is that normal?anyone have the same PROBLEM?

Birds not liking the color red is not unusual. To a tiny bird it could trigger a response that says "predator is near"

Does you bird have a place to fly to outside of cage like a stand or hanging landing place? Try putting a perch on the inside of the new cage door. That way your bird can sit halfway in and out. He can gradually make his way out of the cage instead of all at once.
