Hello! My 2 year old GCC is extremely dependant on me. He will scream for me whenever I leave, even if its just for minutes. He's calm when I'm there, but the moment I get up he freaks out.
I've noticed that he doesn't seem to play with his toys when I'm gone, he tends to just sit on a perch and wait. Sometimes I wonder if he even eats while I'm gone.
So my question is, how do I encourage independent behaviors to help him rely less on me and have fun when I'm gone?
He also is quite aggressive when I come home, which isn't a great. It would be great to know how to encourage something other than calling for me or to prevent the aggression.
Any advice or help would be appreciated! Thanks!
