I recently bought a baby (2 months aprox) alexandrine(unknown gender) from a family that dont seem to be breeders but just wanted to sell the babies of their adult alexandrines. When i first arrived at their home there were 2 baby alexandrines which was originally 3(assuming they had already sold 1). They were both very quiet and still and wouldnt bite or lunge at all. They also didnt mind stepping up onto your hand but would soon fly away. Once i decided on one of the babies to pick, i brought it home without a problem. However, the parrot has ever since been very quiet barely making any noise. The worst part is its biting and how it will almost every time lunge at my finger once i reach into its cage. Even if he/she doesnt lunge, then it would start nipping on my hand when i am close enough. However at times i am able to pick him/her up and take it outside its cage for a walk about. When it is not near its cage, he/she does not bite at all. But then after a little bit it would start looking for its cage from the other room and fly back to it or onto the chandelier. Could this be cage aggression or something like sibling separation anxiety? Ive had it for roughly 20 days now. He/she does alright with stick training and often steps up onto my hand when im trying to teach it to step up. Help me out please with any advice.
