I made an account here because I've been having an ongoing issue and I need to speak to someone about it before I go crazy. My older brother got a green cheek conure, Souda, in around 2018? For the first few years we had him he was very friendly and sweet, if a bit bitey, but I've learned that you should expect that from birds. Lately, though, that's changed and he's become and extremely aggressive little sh*t and he honestly scares me. I'm the only one home 90% of the time, and I always want to let him out because I feel bad for him, but he gets extremely aggressive (chomping my ear and face HARD) and I can't deal with it so I put him back.
The issue arises in the fact that I don't want to have to be the one to bond with him or fix his behavior. He hates my mom, and my older brother who got him moved out last year and didn't take him with, so I'm just about the only person in the house who can spend time with him, but I don't want to. I don't want to be responsible for this 4 inch toddler for the next 40 years because my brother thought a bird would be cool. I feel so bad for the poor bastard bird but I honestly hate him. He's so mean and loud and i don't know what to do. Rehoming him is out of the question because there's no way my family would let go of him.
To summarize; I feel really bad for our bird who spends most of his day in his cage, but I don't like him and I don't want to be bonded to him or responsible for him. What do I do? Is there any advice I could give my mother to help fix her bond with the bird, since she likes him more? He hates her because she was holding him when I clipped his nails once and he's never forgiven her. Can it be helped?
