behavior


my husband just got me a parrot but it seems scared. its been 3 weeks. what can i do


Answer:

Hi Priscilla,

It takes time for a parrot to settle in to his new home. It depends on if he is already tame, hand fed, what species, how old, and other variables. It’s hard when someone else buys a parrot for someone, because you may not necessarily be compatible. I’ll give you the links to our taming and behavior pages. If you can provide more information, we can try to be more helpful. We do offer free weekly webinars on many pet bird topics. Once a month we have a pet bird behavior Q&A with Chris Davis. You can view her past webinars on youtube – I’ll provide that link also. And if you attend next month, you can ask Chris a question.
