Fezz is our sun conure and he has hated me from day 1. As soon as he knew he hated me he knew that he loved my husband. Fezz was given to us by a friend that couldnt take care of him anymore. We think he is four years old and we are his 3rd owners.
We have had him a year now and no matter what I have tried he still does not like me. He wont let me touch him and will bite me if I even ask him to step up. He does have his flight wings so he will also fly across the room at me, land on my shoulder and bite my neck. This is not a little nip, Fezz goes for blood.
I have tried just talking to him and not trying to touch him or asking him to step up. I have tried using treats to get him to like me. He is nice while i have food, but I still get bit almost every day. If he bites me, I always use a glove and put him in a cage for a time out.
I know Fezz thinks my husband is his mate and often guards my husband from me. But even though ive tried working with him, even when my husband isnt here, he still bites me all of the time.
My husband often gets frustrated with him and wants to get rid of him. He would be perfectly fine if Fezz loved me and not him. I know its mostly because Fezz can be so needy and he doesnt like seeing me get bit all of the time. I do not want to get rid of our bird. I hate getting bit and I hate that my bird doesnt like me but he deserves to have a forever home and not end up with even more owners who cant handle him.
I think his first owner was a male. Could this have anything to do with why he prefers my husband? He pretty much hates all females. He hated his previous owner and every female I have had over he has attacked. Yet when we have men over he is in love. Is there anyway to change this behavior? We like letting him have mostly free roam of the house when we are home and letting him have his flight wings, but could this be making his aggression worse in anyway? I just dont know what to do and i am sick of gaining new scars from him. I just want to be able to help my husband take care of our bird and pick him up when i need to without him biting me. Any suggestions?
