This is Sunny my sun conure. I got her during the pandemic while living at my parents house, I hand raised her and we spent a lot of time together since I worked from home.
About a year ago I left home, she stayed with my family for a couple months until I was able to bring her with me, we've been back together for about 6 months now, now I work 8 hours everyday and come back home for lunch at noon. When I'm home I take her out of the cage for her to train with me and spend time with me. Recently, I decided to film her while I was gone.
She does not play with her toys or even move around her cage while I'm gone. I feel so sad because I don't want her to be sad, she had a big cage, several toys and a play stand above her cage (I leave her cage open).
When I come back she comes to life and eats and starts screaming and anxious for me to grab her. I've been working on clicker training and getting her to interact with her toys, and also not reinforcing the screaming (something my family did a lot) is there anything else I can do?
Any advice? Should I be worried?
She's 4 years old.
Also, the only reason my landlord approved of her was because she's my ESA, not sure I can get another bird is that something I should even consider?
