Hi,
We have an African grey 3 months old that we took from breeder at 2 weeks age and hand fed by ourselves.
The parrot is very friendly, playful and smart.
The only problem we have is a big fear from his cage. We only put him in the cage at night for sleeping. First, when he sees the cage, he screams and tries to escape. When in the cage, he goes to the floor and digging until he sleeps. In the morning, he will stay on the floor, not touching the food, not even sunseeds!
We tried putting him in the cage during the day to watch this behavior and he is sitting on the floor and screaming to get out. When we open the door, he jumps outside from the location he is.
Removed and replaced all toys, nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
