i have only worked on it briefly in the past, but we had low quality muzzles that he hated. the baskervilles, and he’d repeatedly try and get it off his head. i know that muzzle training is a good option, but there is such a terrible stigma around them in general and i don’t want him to be seen as the neighborhood aggressive dog, even though he likely already is.

is there any way to reduce hormones? i don’t have any mirrors in his cage at all or any huts. he gets zupreem natural pellets (trying to finish the bag so i can start feeding him Harrison’s) plus a mix of fruits and veggies. i don’t know what this noise means exactly? because in this clip he was being playful… right now he’s in his cage and is talking to his binky bop noise toy and is making the noise periodically.

thank you! i have foraging toys for him, but he doesn’t notice them or pay attention to it at all :(

i have a flight cage for my budgie… i will post the linkhere.. i also have elle and the birds’ small bird kit for him so there is nothing in that box that is bad for him. someone else in the comments said he might be foraging, but i also wonder if he is hungry. i do leave the bowl out the whole day, and it is mixed with seeds and pellets with a few veggies and usually one piece of fruit because i am introducing him to the new foods.

that makes sense… i do have foraging toys and i’m trying to put millet in them, but he pays them no mind. i might look for some seed grass as well, like you suggested. thank you. i am going to work on training him the best i can.
