Hello everyone,
Please don't judge me....
First let me tell you about myself and my bird. His name is Tango, he will be 4 years old next April. He's a "parrotletosaurus"! Lol As for myself, i've had a couple of fids before. Animals are my life! I don't remember not having some type of pet all my life. I just lost my cat Shali who was 18 years old this past November and It's tough. Anyway, once i i get a pet, it's for life no matter what.
Seriously, he's the love of my life! He's so funny, always trying to find a way to make you laugh, he's sweet, soooo smart, curious and very, very, very vocal!
That's where i'm coming to.
I know that parrots are very very vocal from the start and i'm ok with that. But he's ALWAYS screaming and i mean screaming at the top of his little lungs. And most of the time, i see that he's really mad. I don't know at what. Sometimes i think he's in another state of mind and nothing stops him, it's like he not seeing clearly so i have to put him for a nap and i cover his cage for half an hour to calm him down. The constant screaming is getting to me and my bf, creating stress, irritation, anxiety....
The thing is that that problem is attached to another: my boyfriend!
I don't work because of health problems so i'm always home. So when Tango and I are alone, everything is almost perfect. He's calm and doesn't scream often. But when my boyfriend comes home, all hell breaks loose!
Also, when he's home and i let Tango out, he wants nothing to do with me. He's all about my bf, i can't even pick him up without him attacking like i was the devil in person, once he draw blood. I think he's in love with him cuz Tango feeds him (but sometimes me too), does the love dance ( as i was told). THE CONFUSING part is that when i'm alone, we have a great bond!
Right now he's in the living room and it's all open to the kitchen and dining room so he sees us all the time, he's never alone. But now we thought about moving him to our second bedroom/office. He would have a tv with animated movies and some stuff for him for when get time out of the cage. But he will not be left alone, he will still get the time out of the cage all like before. I just feel that if i put him there, i kind of punish him and it's not what i'm doing!
Is my Tango broken?
