Another behavioral problem.
So, Bundy is learning a new, bad habit: when he doesn't want to go in to his cage, he will fly away to avoid me. Usually it's because I'm very mad at him. For example, he will play with me for a bit, but then fly on to something and chew on it even though I tell him no several times. When he refuses to stop chewing on the piece of furniture, I will take him away from the furniture, where he will play with me for a minute before going back to the furniture. Finally I will get frustrated and try to put him in his cage, but he flies all around the apartment until he's too tired to fly any more.
Any ideas to stop this? |

It sounds as if he finds chewing on furniture more fun than interacting with you or going back to his cage. Have you tried giving him something else more fun and interesting to chew on?
Why should he go back to his cage when he's having more fun outside of it? If you want him back in the cage then you should make it more interesting to be inside his cage than out.... be that treats or toys.
