My two parrotlets, Major and Maestro, will be 9 months old soon. They have grown fairly accustomed to being handled and training is, well sort of coming along :09: . Maestro had some health problems for a couple months a while back and was receiving medicine orally regularly and he is very well behaved and loves being held by all my family members.
I'm afraid that during the time where I was devoted attention to Maestro, Major got jealous and a little wary of me taking his brother so often. While Major imitates noises and performs on command is knows how to step-up, he does not like it when I go into or come up to his cage. He comes right up to the front chirping angrily and feathers puffed up. He bites me when I put my hand in and will only step-up to come out after Maestro has come out.
I'm not sure how to go about earning his trust and getting him trained. He also loves to fly (I've had his wings trimmed twice and still gets around a little too well so that's a work in progress), whenever I try to pet him he likes to fly away.
Any advice from someone with an aggressive baby?
Thank you!
