Stopping my African Grey's habit of pecking on the bottom of the cage?


Ronald, 3 March 2024

I have a 15yr. old African Grey who's getting a habit of pecking on the bottom of its cage and won't stop until I open the door and run him up to the perches. What suggestions do you have to correct this habit?

My blue gold macaw who is 21 years old will not stop feeding his toys and becomes very aggressive if I try to remove them. Also, he does not relieve himself in the cage. He holds it in all night until I put him on his perch in the morning. Should I be concerned?

My blue fronted Amazon 1 year and 7 months old parrot frequently goes thru the motions of swallowing with his mouth open. Can this mean he is having swallowing issues, he usually does it after he eats his dry food.

I have a 20 year old umbrella cockatoo. Other than occasional bouts of feather plucking we haven't had any sustained behavior problems. I do have a question about her habit of sustained stoccato pecking of my husband's knee... Like woodpecker. It doesn't hurt but after 10 or 15 minutes it seems excessive. She only does it with him. She's primarily my bird (she always wants to hibernate down my shirt and has laid an egg there on occasion) but also goes to him and has never been aggressive to him. What does the pecking mean.

To Sonia and Bob, depending on the parrot's age and past experiences, it can take a year or more for the bird to accept you. Start by just spending time beside the cage. Move slowly around the bird--quick movements can startle them. Offer favorite foods by hand. Be prepared to wait a long time before the bird approaches to take the food, usually something like a sunflower seed that you won't feed as part of their regular diet. The bird will learn to associate your approach with offers of this food. Only after all this should the training to step onto your hand begin. There are many good books on this part of the process. The main point is that you need to be patient. If the bird has been caught in the wild (which none should be these days!) it may never become tame enough to be a friend and really belongs with other parrots.
