Hello, I will be getting my baby home in a few weeks time. I've been reading through some tough stories of separation anxiety and their Conure will scream all day if they aren't in the room. I totally understand that Conures scream and its part of their nature. But I also understand that a lot of the time excessive screaming can be caused by something the owner is/isnt doing. Maybe because they spend TOO much time with them in the early days of ownership so they get extremely attached and afraid to be alone?
But my question is what is a good way to help prevent separation anxiety from ever happening in the first place. I am confident that most bad behaviors in birds are avoidable in the first place If handled properly. Not saying a conure scream is bad, but excessive screaming isnt a good sign.
Would consistent training and bonding only for say 3-4 hours a day, then leave them alone on the cage to learn to play with their toys and be content be a proper route to take in the beginning? I will also have sufficient toys for him and will switch them out every 2-3 weeks to keep it new and interesting.
Thanks for any advice!
