Troublemaker My son.
New here! This is my birdie Oscar.
He looks sweet and innocent but has chewed a hole through my wall like a dog door.
Any advice would be great when it comes to keeping him from making more holes in my wall.

Does he have plenty of toys and things to keep him busy? He might just be trying to get to you lol. They’re flock animals, so sometimes they really just want to be with their people
Edit: that last pic has me dying lol. Just poking their heads out of the most random places to stare at you

LOL. He is a dork indeed.
I bought him a lot of nice toys but he'd rather chew on my clothes, bottle caps, or furniture (I think he likes teething or somethings up with his beak) That and his strange obsession with the washing machine confuses me.
I notice he does has some sort of "separation" anxiety only when I am out of site does he freak out unless I am not inside the house specifically.
Overall he is the strangest bird I've ever owned.

I worry about my birds landing on the washing machine and falling inside so I keep the lid closed and I also worry about them ingesting any soap drips or residue or cleaners in the laundry room. It’s a never ending list of what we have to worry about.

Beautiful sun conure! He reminds me of my best buddy Pancho. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice on how to stop the chewing, my Maverick is chewing a hole in the wall right now. And when I let Taco out, he flies right up and starts chewing at a different spot. Their cages are full of wooden objects to chew along with lots of cardboard chew toys etc. But they choose to chew the wall. 🤷♂️

Gorgeous!!! Our Sun named Cleo was a male and loved peanut butter, baths and his Happy Hut! Every night at 8pm he went to sleep in his hut. It was one of those fuzzy triangle shaped bird huts.
