Post: He won't play!

Posted by Robin on 6/04/07

I have a pionus that was really rather quiet for the first
couples years. He's lately been shrieking alot. He gets so
angry when I leave the room, even tho he can follow me, he
won't. He won't play with anything I give him. I feel bad,
but I can't be his whole life! He can be really sweet, but
in the spring when the days get long, he has bitten me.
Last year and this one. I admit I am leery of putting my
hand up to him, let alone cuddle like I used to,(he got my
nose really badly)so use a perch to carry him, but I can
pet him and handle his wings without fuss. Any ideas for
helping him be more content and happy? He has free roam of
the house for the most part, two cages and a tree in the
kitchen. He gets destructive on the doors if they are
closed. I think he's just bored, but nothing seems to
interest him anymore. Ideas?
