My GCC used to have separation anxiety when I first got him as I went out often to doctor appointments. I got two budgies to help keep him company. It worked. No more freak out behavior when I would return home. My Grey squeaks when I leave the room but she has learned what “I’ll be right back” means.
I got my conure at a petco. I visited her everyday when she was still there and her separation anxiety grew from there. She hated when I left. Once I brought her home the first time she came out her cage. She came straight to me to cuddle and sleep the night away in my hands. Her separation anxiety just kept getting worse from there. I can’t even go to the bathroom without her with me because of how LOUD she will scream for me.
If it is hard on you, consider getting another Conure. They tend to help each other, and the second Conure may ease your Conures anxiety. It’s possible it won’t help, but unlikely.
I have a 13 year old cockatiel, and now that I moved out from my parents house to an apartment, I can't leave the house because he makes a lot of noise. I don't want to have problems with my neighbors I got him a bigger cage with more toys. During the week I work from home, we spend a lot of time together. But I wish I could leave the house without being afraid of him making a lot of noise.
I know you lost a macaw last year and you added one. Or did you lose both? I don’t remember! How’s your golden doing? I’ve not been following you in a while I’ve been real busy.
Mine feed off each other. The only thing that quiets them is calming music for parrots. Most of the time we don’t even notice the calling, whistling and talking. They’re birds and that’s what they do. I completely agree with you about Amazons and Macaws. When I worked at My Sinai Hospital on Miami Beach, Macaws and Conures would come in the evening to roost in the palms on the property. The noise was deafening.
@@ParrotBliss she 3 and and I had her when she was 6 months old I believe, she always on my shoulders but I can't leave the next room or clean with out her screaming. And when I have to leave the house she will scream. I'm going to take her to the vets soon to see what I can do.
Everytime i hear my little girl flock call when i leave the room i'm the one having seperation anxiety 😭 I know most of the time she's being dramatic but still it hurts my heart
Unfortunately, I’m not surprised. GCC don’t usually get along with other species very well. That’s why I always recommend two of the same species. Can you get another GCC and another cockatiel?
Hi, when you say to get another parrot, Does it have to be the same species or is a different species good enough? My ekki panics every time I leave the room and I know he needs a buddy because I can't be there with him 24/7. I would like to get a different species but I don't know if they will bond with each other at all.
I have a white bellied caique. He's 11 years old. He started plucking his feathers around 5 years ago. Is he to old now to get another caique? Do you think he would accept another bird at this age?
Hi Kalyn thanks ssoooo sssooooo much for that vid. I have the same problem when i pass the front door or I go upstairs. When I leave the room she calls me of screaming so I andswer by whistling back and she’s getting better
I like that, whistling. Macey is similar. She doesn’t bond with birds, she follows me, but she’s pretty quiet. Keep communicating with her they way we talked about. Now Lorenza just says, “Bye, bye!”
