Hello All!
I just need some encouragement on how to build back trust with my 5.5 year old male budgie Blueberry. During the last three months of 2020, he had to go to two different vets for his obesity. On all three visits, he refused to get into his travel cage and unfortunately, I had to grab him to attend the appointments. I just hated doing that...I had no choice. The weight loss journey has been slow. He now is basically, cagebound and comes out to play very little. I used to have a loving and active bird. Now he fears me and lunges at me. I know I have to start from scratch...any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
