About 3 weeks ago we bought a 13 wk old green cheek conure. He was raised indoors hand trained and has been beautiful super friendly, learning games with us, following us everywhere, kissing. A beautiful natured lil thing.
Overnight he turned mean!
He still wants to sit on us but then just attacks out of the blue. At first we thought he was hurt somehow but he's not displaying any other signs. He squawks and bites or squawks and charges even while sittin on shoulder.
My 10 yr old had been a bit rough trying to unlatch him before he went mean but didn't hurt him, we have the 10 yr old not handling him letting the bird climb on him if he wants too, and the bird still does snuggle on him.
Hubby has taken to putting bird in a timeout box after biting for 30'seconds will this help?
Any ideas? Please I loved my sweet baby and now I avoid him
