Hi, I have an Indian Ringneck Parrot, which i've hand raised from the age of 3 weeks. She is now almost 2 years old. In the last 2 months she has totally changed personality from a sweet and affectionate bird to a nasty aggressive bird that bites me at every opportunity and wants nothing to do with me.
Does anyone have advice on what the problem might be and what steps i can take to resolve the issue? She has also become much more destructive, shredding pillows, curtains, books, electronics etc etc. (basically anything in her path). At this stage, i am unable to handle her. She is free in the house. I suspected she may be bored, but she has many toys. I work during the day so the time i can spend with her is limited to evenings. I also have 2 budgies and a cockatiel that also roam the house freely (they don't really socialize with the ringneck). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm at the stage now where i'm thinking of giving her to somewhere with a aviary.
I have plenty of videos of her behavior that i can share.
Regards,
Martin
