hello everyone, I hope your day is going well.
I have had my conure for a week now (He is 11 weeks old) and so far it has been super great. I adore him, and I think we have bonded together quite quickly. My question is; is it normal for a bird to not be content unless they are on you? Perhaps I am worrying over nothing but I cant tell if his attachment to me is.. too much? he doesnt play with any of his toys (I have tried many different kinds, but he only seems interested in the bumper bell in his cage) and I read a lot about how important toys were for birds before getting him. I spend a lot of time at my computer at home (I work in animation) so if its normal that is okay but I just worry that I am doing something wrong. I have tried setting him down and playing with his toys with him but he just doesnt seem interested. I have a couple perches set around the room and a minute after setting him down he flies back over to me. Is he just a clingy bird?
He also naps a lot, which again, Im not sure if thats normal. When I got him he was on a seed diet, which I have managed to change him to a pellet diet (and a lot of veggies)- I thought it might help with his energy but so far he still seems to still nap a couple times a day. Is that okay?
