So my cockatiel (Brochan) has been with me for over a month now and I appreciate all the help from you guys when i first brought him home. Unfortunately I have made little to no progress and I have reached a point where I am seriously concerned about having him in my house long term.
First off: His screaming. It's constant! All day, everyday! I sit near his cage, no change. I cover his cage, no change. I change his water, no change. New food, still screaming. Cage doors open, screaming!!!
Secondly: If it is because he wants attention then I don't know what to do because if I put my hand within a foot of him he goes bananas to get away, risking hurting himself in his cage or if he gets out he flies into the walls or into the curtained windows. All the while screaming his tripe out!!
Third: He is so aggresive, and it's genuinely not even nice being near him.
I am a very patient person but I'm now at breaking point. As I said before if this is how things are going to be with him then I am thinking of giving him up. We havent bonded even slightly and it seems as though he has absolutely no interest in bonding with me anyway.
Please let me know if I'm being unreasonable or too hasty, if this behaviour is normal or he is just unhappy here and it may be best for him to go elsewhere. I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.
