My 10-year-old cockatiel, Rocky, has suddenly developed a strange tendency to fly as soon as he steps up on my hand. This does not happen when I am moving him around in my room but only in the living room (where his cage is) and other rooms around the house. He still calls for me when I leave the room and signals that he wants to come, but as soon as he steps on my finger he seems to freak out and fly around. Also, after this happens, he seems reluctant to even go near my hand. He did recently have a crop infection where I had to wrap him up in a towel to give him antibiotics which he hated, but he did not exhibit this behaviour during that time or shortly after. It's also not that he doesn't want to leave the area he is in. He still flies to lounges or benches on his own. Any suggestions would help.
