Why is my parrot aggressive, biting, and not talking or interacting?

Question

My question is regarding my pet parrot. I have had an Indian ringneck parrot for about 2 and half years now and ever since then my parrot does not mimic sound nor does it show interest in interacting with us. The parrot has gone wild and every time we approach it, the parrot shows aggression by trying to bite. the parrot tries to open the cage even although we open it daily to allow the parrot to fly. I have had people say to me that this is not normal, this has concerned me and I would like to. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

It's possible Mithoo is very bored and is acting out as a form of attention. Adding in some enriching toys that she can play with, chew on, or that she has to work on to get a treat from may help her get out some of this extra energy. Some parrots don't ever speak or mimic sound, and may instead be more interested in other activities such as puzzle toys or learning tricks. Finding other ways to enrich her environment may help. You can also help bond by offering a favorite treat every time you approach her cage so she stats to associate you with positive things, instead of trying to bite you. Birds are like toddlers, so if she is trying to get out, she is likely excited and wanting to explore her surroundings more. If she does like to explore, hiding treats or favorite food items in the area she plays in may encourage her to explore and get out some energy- just make sure the room she is in is safe for her to fly around. If extra activity doesn't help, or she shows any signs of illness, scheduling a vet check up to rule out any health issues that may be causing pain or stress is always a good idea.
