My grey and my roommate

[Matthew]

Tucker has recently taken a liking to my roommate, but my roommate would rather not have anything to do with Tucker. As soon as Tucker sees him in the morning or when he gets home from work he raises his wings slightly and flaps them a little. He also calls out with high pitched noises which get progressively louder and can last for hours.

 

Needless to say, my roommate is not thrilled by this behavior and neither is anyone living on my block. It's usually the worst when I'm not home, so I feel like I have very little control over it.

 

It seems to me like it's a hormonal thing and he's chosen my roommate as his mate. Tucker is about 3 years old, and I've heard they can be very hormonal during this time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Also, does anyone know if sleep cycle is related to hormonal issues? Right now he gets 8-10 hours of sleep, but usually closer to 8. I was wondering if maybe giving him a sleep cage and putting him to bed earlier might snap him out of this.

Change room mates! Can your room mate not just acknowledge Tucker - he just wants a bit of assurance that there is somebody there and a bit of a chat. It's like having a toddler sitting on the floor playing with it's toys and an adult just walks on past them!

 

Harvey gets about the same sleep - it doesn't matter how long we are in bed, he still is awake early in the morning.
