hi guys, so im new to the forum and to bird ownership, doing research only goes so far once you have them :')
my dilemma is that my Eclectus, Mace, Squawks and whines when he realises im in the room and it only changes if i have him on my wrist/lap or shoulder after 10 or so mins, not screaming though.
He's about 4 months old, still on the formula in the evenings but gets veg and fruits throughout the day. there are currently three of us living in the apartment and he has 3 different attitudes with all of us.
Me - squawking and whining unless he been sitting with me for a while then he calms down.
my flatmate who works from home - Flatmate has mace out of the cage most of the day unless he goes out, hes quiet unless hes eating
and my other flatmate who works 9-5 - hes really quiet around her, doesn't really acknowledge her presence at all.
I knew in getting Mace things wouldnt be quiet, but my flatmates seem to be trying to urge me to see a behaviourist about this and i figured i would reach out before that. Im mostly chalking it down as he's still a baby and seeing me as his primary caregiver but theyre worried it will be ingrained in his personality if we dont fix whatever problem it could be.
