Hello.
Help and advice needed desperately
? We have a green cheek conure that we have had a couple of years now ( he's around 5 years old we think) . He's was never a cage bird before we got him and his chirping and screaming was so unbearable that it was impossible to cage him. He could literally carry on for 4 hours non stop. We kept him out the cage and did our best to keep him happy and just kind of put up with it . However, my girlfriend had a baby boy 5 month ago and it has sent him over the edge .He is absolutely obsessed with me and permanently flyers to my shoulder as he thinks I'm leaving him I reckon. Nothing I do can stop this and it's making our lives difficult and I can't don't know where to start to make him better.
He screams and makes an high pitched loud sound when I am not in the same room with him. We have tried to give him more cage time but had to move him into another room . He's still loud when he hears us but it's not as bad , I would rather him be in the same room as us ideally but it's impossible with the noise . He also has started making the loudest most awful screaming noises just randomly too. It started just before the baby was born .
We give him a great diet, we look after him properly but we are at the point where my gf is struggling with him and we feel a bit like prisoners in our own home
Anyone got any tips ?. I really need help to
1) stop him screaming
2) stop him following me or at least not try and be on my shoulder permenantly
I'll try anything. it just feels like there is nothing we can do at the moment as he's not interested in anything but following me around. We tried toys but no interest and If I take him off and give him a treat he comes straight back. Anyone else have similar experiences?
Thanks all
