New Quaker parrot
Hi, this is my first post here, so: Hello everyone, I'll enjoy getting to know you guys and your marvelous companions :)
My question at the moment is about preventing bad habits from arising in a new, young Quaker parrot I just bought (is still being weaned). Cas, is a blue Quaker, and so far has displayed pretty much no troubling behavior. Though, in the past couple of days as he has settled in, he has screeched a few times, demanding attention. I don't want this to become a habit, so what I've been doing is ignoring the screeching, and then we he stops (for maybe 5 mins at least) I'll go and bring him out of his cage, or feed him, whatever he wants. Is this a good way to prevent the screeching for attention to become a habit? Or am I encouraging the clingy type behavior?
The same goes for biting, he hasn't even looked at biting me yet, but I would like to know the best method of stopping to sort of pinching type stuff... Basically, I don't want to raise him wrong =l I have other parrots, Alexandrians, Princess parrots and Cockatiels which are now in an aviary, but I've never raised one from young...
Thanks for any help, I'll post some picture later :) He is such a gorgeous little fella though, so sweet.
