I im really desperate to tame her and train her and get her to like me again. She also thinks that she can eat whatever she wants out of our food bowls. She doesn't want to spend anytime with me, she mostly perches on the window and chews its frame to pieces. She is completely uncooperative when I try to put her away, and also when I try to train her. For example, sometimes I can coax her into perching on my finger, but when I raise my other hand to pet her she flies away unless my hand retreats. She is not exactly afraid of my hands but she is very weary of them. She still tries to remove the keys from any keyboard available to her. I became so frustrated with her that I gave up. And I believe that this is most horrible of my mistakes, I never trained her, I did teach her to touch the end of a chopstick in exchange for a sunflower seed but that is as far as I got, I never even taught her to step up. I also let her eat out of my plates and bowls. I soon discovered though that this is absolutely not an a good thing to do if I wanted her to like me (duh.). The second mistake I made with her was that when she did not want to be put away I would chase her around my room and grab her. Even worse then that she eventually developed a keen sense as to when my hand was coming up to touch her and flew away every time I did so. I soon discovered that this was not only method that did not work, but she tried even harder to kill my computer. I pushed her off of the screen to deter this behavior. She liked to climb up onto it and attempt to chew the rubber lining around the screen. I spent most of my time in my room on my laptop. We didn't have as bad a relationship as we have now, as she actually liked to spend time with me and was interested in participating in things I did. I will start by listing off what I think were my 3 biggest mistakes, and will then go into the results of said mistakes.Īs I said when I first had her it was during the Christmas break. I have tried researching other problems that people have had with their conure's but no-one seems to be experiencing quite the same problems as me. I currently have a number of problems with her that I realize were mostly my fault. But I gave her space and she eventually warmed up to me. The first few days she was very fearful of me. Last Christmas my mother bought me a green cheek conure.
