Ways to interact safely with too who just wants to be pet all the time

Lola's last family pet her all over, she is used to that and a real cuddle bug. At 5 years old, she may not have hit breeding age yet, so I realize that what seemed ok pre-breeding age for her, may in fact turn her into a hormonal monster as she ages. We try to pet her around the head and neck, preening her there and rubbing gently in her feathers in those areas. She however always wants more- lifting her wings up, trying to cuddle into us. It's hard to say no, but, particularly after we had an incident yesterday after I tried a new conditioner that had strong perfume to it and she flipped out on me, I definitely know I do not want to make hormonal times any worse then they already will be, lol.

I have tried to get her to 'play games' (like tossing a small stuffed animal, trying to get her to chase something like a cat toy on a stick, etc) but all she seems to do is want to cuddle or destroy things, lol. We give her plenty of toys to destroy, but of course that is something she is doing on her own. What are some safe ways we can interact with her?

And anyone have advice on keeping her from 'picking' at, and nipping moles and beauty marks? It's her favorite thing, but OUCH!

Difficult one, NB. Our Corella is a glutton for scratches and pats, but when I've had enough I just walk away Our guy is scared of our lorikeet so when HE turns up, the corella leaves anyway. I don't know why birds are attracted to skin blemishes, they'll quite happily rip scabs off if they can (from wounds they themselves have caused) and even try to lick blood from fresh scratches. I have skin cancers (damn being a redhead lol) on my hands and forearms and they just love to try to remove them for me I guess they're always on the hunt for food, it's wired into their brains, and skin blemishes just happen to resemble food items.

I have heard that the skin blemishes thing is a preening thing, so I'm like ok, that's sweet of you Lola, but no thanks!

I live with a 14yr. old male U2 and hormones are part of the package. The only advice I would have is, live and learn. You will learn how to deal with this as it comes. None of the advice others gave me, nowhere, near, came close to the reality of dealing with it. The rewards are amazing if you can work through it.
