reflection obsessed
Hi I have a question,
I have a kakarikki, a boy, his name is hawke. Hawke is a very tame bird and likes me and his family. He never had a mirror in his cage but I had one in the room I keep him in. He recently discovered the mirror and got absolutely obsessed with it. So after a week or so I removed the mirror because he had no eye for other things anymore. However, once i removed the mirror he began searching for his reflection everywhere. He sees it in the window, in pictures and even on my phone when it is turned of. He also keeps feeding his reflection and I get the idea that his obsession isn’t healthy for him.
He has a companion so socializing isn’t the problem. He has loads of other toys and foods. When I take him anywhere else in the house he finds a reflection and refuses to get away from it.
Is this behavior bad or abnormal? if yes, what do I do?
Greetings Indira
