Question about Green Cheek Conure Behavior?
I have had my 5 month old Green Cheek Conure, Squeek for about a month now. She isn't a loud bird by any means, but she has a consistent habit of calling for me when I'm not in the room. She has been molting for about a week and a half now, which didn't seem to really effec her much, but for the last 3 days she has not made a sound. The only time I can even get a little squeek out of her is when I go right up to the cage. She has also been hiding in her happy hut for 3 days and when I try to coax her out of the cage she bites. She has never even attempted to bite before, she is generally very calm and affectionate. I haven't been home as much the last few days, is this a normal reaction to molting and less attention or is there something possibly wrong with the bird? Please answer only if you have parrot experience.
She doesn't sound sick to me however, when in doubt always go to a vet!! If she's been like this for days already & she does happen to be sick then you've put her in a great deal of danger of her possibly not surviving.
But....she sounds to me like she's favouring her cage & hut over you, possibly hormonal, cage territorial or hard moulting. All of which can stop them becoming socail with their owners.
At 5 months old she may just be starting her very first "real" moult.
I'd remove the hut from her & see if this changes her attitude a little. She may be picking this as a favorite thing at the moment. Offer baths, can you see pin feathers? If so she's moulting. IGNORE biting at all times. Just go on & do what ever you set out to do in the first place is if you didn't even notice her biting. The more you react in any way by an 'ouch', leave the room, anything like this is giving her what she wants so she'll continue to do this & get worse.
Take her away from her cage & do more interacting with her through the day. Replace her happy hut with a different toy with a bell on it, encourage her to play.
