Hello, I just wanna ask if someone have any advice for me.
I have a Alexandirine for almost 10 years, when he was little he had big problem with cages (maybe some psychological trauma before I had it), when I take him home I put him in cage he was in cage for more than month, he was on quiet place, no one bother him for few days, then I start talk to him every day, he seem happy, he ran in cage, whistle, climb etc, so I decided to open cage and let him out, it takes few hours before he got the courage to go out, but he did it and seem happy to climb out and fly etc.
Then was time to go back to the cage, obviously he was hungry and thirsty so he go in a cage, but when I want to close a cage, he always got scared and instantly flew away, so I wait until night and close it when he could not see, but after few trips out of a cage he don't want to go in, he rather don't eat or drink for days then go in, so I put food and water out of the cage, then he start eat and drink again, after that throughout the years I tried put his favorite food or toys in a cage and he never ever put even a feather in, then after about 6-7years I decided remove the cage completely. It never was a problem, I love him every second of my life I spend with him as much time as I can, but now I have some family issues and maybe I may have to move from our apartment and I don't have an idea how to move him after 10 years from his home, does anyone have any advice please?
