Post: quaker loves me, hates everyone else (and shows it).. HELP!Posted by Alison on 4/23/05
Hi,
My boyfriend and I co-own a quaker parrot named Kermit.
He's a really great bird to me, but only to me, and he's
mean to everyone else. We live in a house turned into
apartments and the same people are always around every day,
or at least as often as I am, and you would think that he
would be used to everyone by now.
At first Kermit was cordial to everyone, and then one day
he simply "decided" that he didn't want to like anyone else
except me. even people he had been friendly with before.
I've known him the longest, as he used to belong to my
roommate, who had to sell him to me due to financial
difficulty, so I understand that he's bonded with me. But
he never used to be this way. He had always been social and
very friendly, never bit anyone, and now he squacks and
screams and bites viciously anyone who comes near him, with
the exception of my boyfriend, whom Kermit fears and runs
away from.
I don't know what to do to help Kermit be friendly again. I
think part of his boldness comes from his clipped wings
starting to grow in but I don't know. Any suggestions? I
want my friendly bird back!
