I've only had my indian ringneck for a week. In this time he bonded a lot with me. He is now almost completely tame.
However I think I made the mistake of giving him too much attention. I've spent most of the day with him, playing, cuddling and giving him treats and toys. I recently learned this can lead to behavior problems. So how can I deal with this in the future? He is pretty needy for attention and he doesn't like being in his cage. Whenever I put him in his cage he just gets agitated. He has plenty of toys in his cage too but he just wants to get out and spend time with me on my shoulder. Any tips?
