Hi!
I have a Dusky Headed Conure who I love very much. He haa only been here 2 weeks. He is about 18 weeks old. He steps up beautifully, even walks up to me sometimes to step up, but as soon as he does, he wants to go back to his cage. I have tried taking him out of sight of his cage a few times, it never works. He constantly flaps his wings every few seconds and sqawks. I tried to have him out with me on several occasions. It never stops, unless he is in his cage....if i leave his cage open, he climbs out on his own. He takes treats from my hand, he is not afraid of me, just afraid to be out of the cage? What can I do to help him stop the constant flapping and squawking and ateast perch on my hand calmly? I have never seen this behavior before.
