Lol my caique does the exact same thing. I've just accepted that the bird runs the house now. I'm just the food delivery service.

I went through this exact thing with my lineolated parakeet Basil! It lasted about almost six weeks and then resolved on its own. Hang in there.

How old is your bird? That might explain it — my blue and gold macaw went through something similar around 7 years.
