Gus started out liking me best, but now he hates me. He lunges and charges and has given me a couple of good bites. I've been following the tricks I learned with the amazon, giving him treats, singing...but it's not working with him. His person can reach down and pick him up with both hands and do just about anything with him. So I will keep trying to make nice, but is there anything the favorite human can do to help? Yesterday I got him to set Gus on my knee, and he lunged at both my hands and I had to put them down at my sides.
We're going to have him retested at his next vet checkup - he sure acts more like a hormonal female than a male, always sitting on top the cage fluffed up like a broody hen, regurgitating, sweeping paper bits around with his beak. Bending over to raise his tail if he gets a back scratch.
I'm starting to get depressed - another life with a bird that hates me or tries to keep me at a distance. I don't see how The Rival manages, the man is part saint. I'm not very sainty myself, and I really wish I could get back to the Gus likes me days.
