I walk away & leave the room when Buddy does this. I will come back & give him a treat, half or 1/4 of an egg noodle once he stays quiet or whistles & is not screaming. The last warm spell we had last week even had me wanting to remove my ears. This major cold snap we just had settled him down... I'd totally agree w/ a vet visit (precautionary, but always recommended w/ a new fid), some focused training, & lots & lots of wood. In that bad week Buddy annihilated a snowflake cage hanger, a type of item that's always been barely played w/ before this dauy below).
TY Miss
@Mizzely !!!
The thing was as big as my hand w/ all my fingers opened.
Plus @ minimum, 2 or 3 foot toys & chewed a few Large skewerful's of wood. He isn't usually this aggressive but my house has been going thru major changes which have really disturbed the flow of schedules & life for him.
Just remember to try to just walk away when thier bad & ALWAYS reward the good unless the vet tells you no treats.
There is something to be said for positive reinforcement too! Buddy gets "beak fives" where we tap hand to beak, lotsa kisses, "good jobs" & "excellents". It is possible that the little guy/gal is younger than you think maybe... Pubescent. I heard this time in a parrot's life can be... very trying for some parrot species & their families.
My guess is your both testing the water, right now being new to one another. If you let this bird make you overly accommodating to "it's" whims, neither of you will endure longterm w/ one another.
I'm no expert but Buddy was like this w/ me initially, I didn't listen to anyone & tried to do it my way,. What a HUGE mistake! It's taking a million times longer to re-train Buddy to the "New & correct" way to behave.
You have this & we're here to help you!
Welcome to AA! Nice to meet you!!!
