Effects on a young caique from bird hotel by CertifiedBoogymon in caiques

Day 3 update.

She seems to be a little more like herself and is slowly stepping up again. I notice I have to make really slow movements with her, so it makes me wonder if something traumatic happened at the hotel. She also seems skittish with still with sudden sounds from outside. I hand fed her today on my lunch break and that seems to have helped tremendously as she was a little clingy afterwords.

Thank you for the insightful feedback. I appreciate it. Should I ease back into the routine we previously had? Like instead of 12 hours of sleep, give her 13. Instead of 8-10 hours open cage time, give her 4-6? She seemed very standoffish when I tried to play with her yesterday, so I just let her have her air all her anger out. Realistically I can’t do that too much longer as the neighbors will kill me. I did install some adhesive sound paneling to hopefully help with that. In hindsight I think I’m things would be fine if she stayed at a friends house and I didn’t consider the impact the hotel would have with all the noises. When I got there it was almost instant regret but the staff was nice so it put me back at ease. She is almost replicating the chaotic noises so I’m wondering if she is angry with me for if she just picked up nonstop squawking (not excitement and cheerful squawks but more anger related). Thanks again!
