My parrot is terrified of surfaces
I've had a blue-headed conure for almost a year, and I've noticed a peculiar behavior: he's afraid of surfaces.
It almost seems like he doesn't want to familiarize himself with the room. Every time he leaves his cage (very often), he flies either at me, the TV, or on top of the cage.
As long as he is handled or is in one of his favorite places (as in the photo) he is calm, but as soon as I put him on the desk, on the table, on the bookcase or on any other surface he stiffens and gestures with his foot as if he wants to climb onto my finger.
He very rarely interacts with objects in the room, unlike other parrots who may hide, destroy furniture, eat books, and make a mess.
Is it a prerogative of the species, his personality or I can act in a way to make him open up more to what surrounds him?
