14-year-old green cheek conure

[djdad60]

I have had a female green cheek since she was very young. For a couple of months now whatever the reason she will take food from my hand but she will not step up for me and literally backs away. To make it clear I have no different clothes I don't have a new hairstyle because I don't have any hair anyway. I just wish I knew what to do. She just isn't interested any longer. Her feathers look good she plays she eats well she drinks fine she poops regular your guess is as good as mine. If anybody has got an idea I'm certainly open to listen please help me if you can.

I've only read about this happening once before. And that was much more severe, where the parrot was totally scared of his person of many decades. SLowly over many months, almost a year, the owner got back into mostly good graces again. Personally, I would have a thorough medical check up for yourself, as parrots see in different spectrums then we do. He might be seeing something in your physical make up thats not apparent to you. Dogs have been used to sniff out cancer, with their super highly developed smellers. Not saying this is the same but hey its one more thing to check off the list of causes.

We have gotten along famously for 14 years. She won't even go to my wife so I doubt there's any health problems associated with both of us. I am just totally stumped.
