Hi,
i have previously received councel from some kind persons on here about my aggressive IRN. They suggested we clip the wings and use the shuning method. unfortunately this has not worked. We got his wings cliped and now he is more grumpy than EVER! It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to shun him. As he climbs out of his cage he lunges at anyone approaching him. Then if we can lure him to his perch he becomes extremely aggressive. no matter what we offer him (our hand, a treat, a perch) he puffs up twice his size pins his eyes and if its not removed he lashes out.
we cant even get him to the ground when he needs to be there. and not to mention when its time to go back in his cage! HELL!
i am giving up because i have tried everything and nothing works. i think i will have to sell him or put him down. Also he can fly considerable distances even though his wings have been professionally cliped.
(also parrot councelling is not an option where i live)
