Hello! My name is Clara and I'm new here, I hope I made everything right
I've had a green cheek conure since he was young, his name is Chester and he's nice and cuddly with me. When he was younger (1 year old) he was mean to everyone but me, he bit and ran away from everyone, that was one year ago and at that time I introduced him to my boyfriend, as expected, he bit my boyfriend and ran away from him but, he was the first person (besides me) to pet him. It was weird because most of the time Chester would fly away, run and bite but sometimes, he would ask my boyfriends for pets and be as cuddly as he is with me.
We had a long-distance relationship so Chester only met my boyfriend like 3 times in one year and every time it was like I wrote above but, 3 months ago we moved together with Chester and I thought they would get along easy because my parrot has matured and he's now nice to everyone and lets them handle him (even ask for pets with some!) but my parrot has other plans.
Since we moved, he has only ran away and even bit my boyfriend and this only happens when I'm on the room with them or he knows I'm home but, when my boyfriend is alone with him, he is normally nice and cuddly, my partner bathes him and everything is okay and I have no idea why this happens.
My partner is a bit touchy with the parrot but always gentle when handling him, he gives him a lot of treats (he's a softie) and just loves him so much but he is getting so discouraged when everyday he gets rejected by Chester.
I don't know what should I do to make them get along. I know they'd love each other only if my parrot would accept my partner. So, my question is, what we do to make them like each other? and, why is this happening? I think it might be because they met when Chester hated everyone because he still hates the people he met when he was younger but is nice to everyone new.
That's all, I'm sorry this is so long but I wanted to give all the info that I could so this can get fixed, I appreciate any tips or theories and thanks for reading.
Have a nice day!
