Problems with hers Cage!

[JYraya]

Hello guys I'm having a huge problem

My mini macaw started to hate his cage with all hers will power... She wants to be away from the cage all the day and when she is on the cage, she screams TOO HIGH AND ALL THE TIME! and starts to walk a side to side.... She used to scream before, only to eat hers formula... after this she was very silent....

When I'm putting her off, she stops and be very nice with me... The cage isn't small, and she has space to jump, fly walk and etc... The only problem is that when I'm on the room, she always try to fly to be near, staying on my shoulders...

Anyone knows how can I decrease this yelling? I think she is doing it to call me, because when I'm near she stops... How Can I make this "needing" of my presence?

Thanks a lot

Was there an incident that caused the sudden behavour change? Where/how often do you feed the bird? You should only feed in cage.....thus cage is a positive place. Have plenty of toys in cage and mix up the type/location. Have foraging toys in cage. To sum it up, make the cage a rewarding experience. Positive reinforcement.

Hope this helped,
