Constant contact call
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2022 1:31 am
Hey all,
I have a year and a half old female ringneck (Flippers). Shes been with us for over a year but shes developed the need to constantly contact call.
Its mainly when I’m not in the same room with her and it goes on for hours. For the most I ignore it (when I’m in the room and out) but its getting pretty out of hand. Im not sure what is triggering it. When Im not in the room she’s in her cage, I take her out in the morning and shes fine to sit on my shoulder as I’m changing papers in her cage, tidying up the room etc. I then put her breakfast in which varies daily (Chop, warm mash, porridge, pieces on a skewer, wedged in the cage bars) and leave the room. As soon as I do she starts to contact call. I don’t go back into the room as i don’t want to think screaming will make me com back. She doesn’t seem to be really interested in the food i put it either and ignores it and hangs onto the front of the cage calling.
Im not sure what to do now, Ive seen a thread around the screaming when in the room which I’m going to try work with but when im out of the room and not interested in eating is something completely new.
Would really appreciate any advice!
