Conure chewing holes in screen door
by Daniel
(Edgerton, WI)
I have a sun conure who has the reign of my sunroom. Last year he took to hanging on the screen door between the rest of the house and the sunroom. He then began to chew holes, and eventually cut a very large section from the screen.
In the fall I removed the door, replaced the fiberglas screen with an aluminum one, but it didn't take him long to start dismantling that one as well, although not as speedily. What can I do to discourage him from doing this?! Could I put some natural, unpleasant tasting spice or something organic to discourage Connor from chewing the screen? Please help! Thanks in advance!
