Good afternoon,
I had an AG before this one, but he died recently so I went on and bought another one, this AG is a wild one, around 3 years old, and he's been with me for a short time, almost 2 weeks, when we first got him he wouldn't really move a lot, just sit in his cage all the time and growl when someone comes near him. Whenever I'm near the cage he doesn't growl much anymore. He isn't aggressive at all, I've brought him toys he could play with, and as I put them up he doesn't really bite, just stares at my hand as I put up the new object, he takes food from my hand and I can touch his beak only, but whenever I want to touch him he keeps growling and growling but I reward him with his favorite treat whenever I do touch him, regardless of the growling, how can I stop this growling?
Side note: I haven't taken him to the vet yet because I have no idea how to get him out of his cage, as he never leaves it just walks around in it all the time and at night for some reason he decides to go to the bottom and sleeps there and in the morning goes back up to eat and climb all over, its been 3 days since he's been sleeping at night at the bottom, during the day he doses off on his perch. P.S. The cage door is always open.
Thank you for your time, any info would be plenty of help as I don't know how to stop this growling habit.
