I've been trying to get to the bottom of Monte's behavioural problems, and I've came to the conclusion that it must be regression. When he comes out he has very little if any interest in his toys or playing, all he wants to do is sit on my lap and snuggle. Although it is very cute, I fear that it may be enforcing bad behaviour. When he's out he also basically just squawks like a baby pretty much the whole time. So my question is if he is regressing, what do I do to try and help? Should I stop letting him on my lap to snuggle? Please any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. Chris[ul]

Does anyone know of any avian behaviourists in Ontario? Or how I might find one? Thanks. Chris

it's only when he's out with me or my girlfriend, and for about 5 mins after I put him in his cage. Once he's been in his cage for a bit he's fine. It's getting really hard to have him out as much as he should be/is used to because of the constant noise, but I don't wanna cause more problems by neglecting to have him out.

hello all, I'm really in need of some advise. My Timneh Monte is about 6 months old now, and for the first few months he was a perfect little angel, but for the last month or so whenever he's out all he does is squawk. He rarely touches any of his toys anymore, just basicaly squats down low and squawks non stop. I've tried to distract him with toys and games, but nothing seems to work. He always seems to just want to sit on my lap and get snuggled, but I wanna be careful to not over do it. I'm really getting pretty stressed out about this, because it's getting to the point where bringing him out is just painful, and everyone I live with is ready to kill me. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, or if anyone knows of a good behaviorist in Ontario (around the Guelph/Kitchener area specificaly) would also help.
