I have a 2 year old beautiful blue male parrotlet who is generally extremely friendly, brave, and outgoing. My mom and I got him together and we both gave him lots of attention, but for some reason he bonded to me. He is a total doll, loves to nestle in my hair and will perch on my shoulder all day long.
About a year ago he started to behave aggressively towards my mom. He ruffles his feathers and screams at her when she walks by his cage, and will bite her if she holds him. He REALLY hates her! He is very sweet to me, and even seems to have bonded with my dad, who is not much of an animal lover. He'll happily perch on my dad's finger and sing to him, but if my mom comes near, he goes crazy. She has always been nice to him, and she is the one who buys him all of his food, treats, and toys!
Is there anything I can do to help him learn to love her? I am worried because I go to college in the fall and can't take my bird, so he will be left with my mom and dad. I'm afraid he will be very lonely and bored, because my mom doesn't want to do anything with him! Help!!
