Hi, I'm new to this forum so i hope i am not repeating a topic already posted. I have searched but still havent found anything to help me out 100%.
My budgie Barry is 13 months old. He's always been a character but he's changed behaviour recently. He is tame, flys around the house when i'm home, talks and is generally pretty good but i went on holiday for 10 days and left him with my mum. No one teased him (so i have been told) but i think when he's dropped his swing etc obviously other peoples hands have gone into the cage. Since getting him back he isnt talking as much, he cant seem to fly properly and he is extremely aggressive. If i put my hand in his cage he bites and really latches on and trys to attack anyone or anything that goes near him. He also wont let me pat him anymore, and no longer flys to me when i call him which he always did. He's just not the same little bird. Is there anything i can do, do i need to start all over again with him? I undrstand that he might be adjusting to me again but it has been to weeks and there is no improvement. He still knows me and came straight to the front of the cage and rubbed his beak against me when i got him but he is definately a changed budgie.
Any suggestions would be so much appreciated.
Thanks
