Hi, I'm having a huge problem with my Green Cheek conure, Jesse James. Whenever I put on my pair of Oakley sunglasses (which are red tinted) he goes absolutely loving ballistic. If I enter the room he is in with these glasses, it almost always results in me having to violently fling him off me. I want to state for the record that me and Jesse get along absolutely fine all the other time. We are best mates. You can't find him without me and vice versa. I've tried a few experiments (is it the color red? No, it is not, because he doesn't flip out at my red bandana.) A little information regarding Jesses past. His previous owners, who were shitheads, seperated him from his sister bird who he was apparently pretty fond of. These idiots, instead of seeing if one person could handle both of the birds, gave them away as soon as possible because they need to move into a non-bird apartment. I am absolutely up poo poo creek here. These glasses were almost 200 dollars and I love them. Sometimes I need to run and grab something and all of a sudden it's "Rumble in the Jungle". You would not believe the ammount of testosteroney aggression he displays. He's bitten me on the corner of the mouth so hard it looked like a had a herpe for 3 weeks straight. He's bitten through leather gloves hard enough to hurt. This bird is the Christian Hazoi (no literally, he can do a FS 540 flip on my finger) of conures apparently, and whenever it gets to fighting, he doesn't give up. What is it about this goddamn pair of sunglasses that is turning my bird into such a raving jackass?

They're 200 dollar glasses. I bring them maybe once in a great while and his reaction is so violent that I'm not going to ignore this by giving them away. I want to treat the underlying issue here, which is him raging the gently caress out and attacking me even though he loves me all the other times. Seriously.

Rotten Cookies posted:Is it just the glasses in general? Or only when they're on you. Do other sunglasses make him flip out? Some combination of what they look like in UV vision and reflecting? Im sorry was that shade thrown under helpful suggestion? I'm not sure which to take first. Have fun with your 20 gas station glasses mate, but don't hold me to them. It's just the glasses. I take them off and he does a FURIOUS bull run towards them when I place them within foot reach. I think I can use these as a toy now. Bullfighting but with a conure is suprisingly dangerous.
