What do i do about my African Grey parrot?
We've had an african grey parrot for just over a year now and lately he's gone crazy.He's screaches really loud whenever someone walks out room,gets down onto the floor and he's biting the skirtingboard and any wood he can find.we have put wood in his cage and he does bite that but my family wants to get rid of him now is there anything we can do to stop him doing it.
After a year, has the attention he receives decreased?
He's probably bored and the "acting out" is his way of getting attention.
Punishment will NOT work.
Reinforce the good behaviors. Ignore and give "time out" for negatives. Everytime he screeches, back into his cage and cover. They are smart birds and it won't take long to associate the behavior with the result.
Be patient and consistent.
