Hi guys!
First up! Frankie and Blueberry (my budgie) are booked for the avian vet today! So I will be taking any questions and concerns to her. Frankie is also getting a nail trim (thank God, they're like needles at this point)
But! Frankie has a nasty habit of SCREAMING. For absolutely no reason at all it seems. Well, I'm sure there's a reason, but the way he screams is the same way he screams when he's in pain! So imagine how I feel when I take him out each morning, give him his breakfast and heading to my room to get ready or get dressed, and I hear him screaming like he's caught somewhere and hurting! My anxiety spikes so much, I can't take it much longer. Yes, he screeches like normal Ringnecks do which can be frustrating, but it's the painful screams that get to me most. He doesn't seem to be injured at all, he's perfectly fine, he just screams like he's broken a toe!
He has a huge perch tree my father and I built with toys hanging from each branch but he rarely pays attention to them, even new ones he barely acknowledges. He spends most of his time sitting on top of the curtain railing, facing the wall, growling at it or screaming at it.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, please help me understand why he's behaving this way. I give him everything I think he could need or want but he keeps screaming and I feel bad like there's something he's needing that he can't ask for that I'm neglecting.
Thank you all in advance
