Tiny rant / Advice?
I have adopted my green cheek conure and had him for 4 months now and we are best buddies in the whole world. As soon as I come home from work and walk into our room I see him bouncing up and down in his cage. BUT I want to take him out of my room cause i am sure he is going to eventually get bored of just flapping around in the same space. I have a huge open space living room and would love to have him fly around out there but my one roomate who thinks he is a bird expert cause he has own a few birds in his life and this is my first baby. My bird rightfully so hates him but he also can read my energy as well and knows I dont like my roomate cause he has that "in charge" energy. My bird loves my other 2 roomates but not this one.
I have bought my bird out to the living room to spread his wings and enjoy the big windows but my one roomate is very forceful to him. Trying to make my bird sit on him and will chase him around the living room to do it. Im honestly shocked my bird hasnt bite him...yet (here is to crossing my fingers it happens).
I got to the living room to place him on the couch and chill with my one roomate while he plays Xbox and I go into the kitchen to cook. Well my roomate has his computer set up in the living room and I swear he is like an untrained 7years and sees my bird and chases him, I dont like my bird in the kitchen with me but it has now come to it to keep my bird safe. I also can't keep him in the bedroom cause he will squawk and wake up my nightshift roomate.
I feel like I am a bad guy and put an animal in a bad situation. My bird hasnt plucked out any feathers and is an extreme cuddle bug and sticks by me...i little too much. Bathroom visits will never be me alone anymore lol.
What am I supposed to do? I been bribing my bird to not squawk when I leave the room and give him a treat but that only lasts 9 minutes and then the where are you squawks happen. One short squawk.
Small note: my bird loves calm energy. He was adopted from a family with 4 kids and he just loves to cuddle and fly around. Only sometimes he throws a tantrum cause he likes to eat cords and I have blocked him from eating them but he can still see them.
