Guys, I'm not sure what to do. I've been giving Blu weaving materials for so long now, and since it's really the only activity he does, I feel it would be cruel to take it away now.
He used to just build until things were up to his own standards, or until the mood was over over with, and then he'd go back to being my sweet little friend.
But I think ever since I've transitioned him off of straws on onto tri poly rope it's become a nonstop obsession that never seems to end. He does it from the minute he wakes until the minute he goes to bed
And he's so mean and bitey now. He'll come over to try spend a minute with me here and there but then he just bites me constantly. He barely eats too. It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to be around him. He actually looks possessed. His eyes are not the same. He's on a mission.
Another issue is, hr's become so accustomed to sleeping in the nest on top of the cage that I feel bad that he'll be so unhappy sleeping in his cage like he used to do. Bed time is going to be a nightmare.
I just want to know - would it be cruel to completely deprive him of weaving? Like absolutely nothing to weave? He doesn't play with toys so that's really the only enriching thing he has to do.
I'm at a loss now. I know you're not supposed to let a parrot have access to nesty things but somehow I worry that if he can't weave he has nothing.
Any advice would be appreciated
