Last night's trauma
Last night was crazy and I feel like I need to share (and maybe even get some advice).
Poor Noodles was sleeping in her covered cage last night (as she does every night). At about 11:30 PM I heard a TERRRRRIFYING thud and screaming/hissing. I ran over, thinking she was having a stroke and had fallen off her perch. When I uncovered her, I saw that her stupid pinata-type toy had fallen down and startled her (she was sleeping, so obviously, it was scary--tail totally fanned, crest up, wings out). When I got her out, she was pretty shaken up but she is okay... Thankfully, after laying her head on my chest like a scared kid..she did go back in willingly. The issue is, after she had calmed down I tried to cover her again and she hissed and hissed at the cage cover (which is an essential part of our lives together, as she doesn't have her own room and I can't go to sleep at 5:30 each night with her). Last night, after 3 tries at re-covering the cage, I decided to shut off all of the lights and go to bed myself (allowing her to sleep uncovered). I am super nervous that this new fear will persist....Anyway....that's that... Toys with leather ties are going to be a thing of the past in her cage....

I know she needs to get over it, but I didn't want her to have a heart attack. Do you think that I should leave it covered and let her keep hissing? I don't want her to break a feather in a panic either.

Re: Last night's trauma
Today my female U2 is scared of the new tree stand, when she saw the pieces she freak out, I put her couch so in room with it and see it. At least she no longer hissing and going into other room away from it, like she did yesterday anymore, she just now arguing at it. My male U2 on the other hand love it. I have to do this as in the next couple of days once I do all fixes to it, it will be in bird room where she sleep, so getting her use to seeing before hand.

Re: Last night's trauma
How about partially covering her house for a bit?..Like leave the back side open so Noodles can get some light,and you could still turn the lights off when you want,the gradually cover a little more at a time?

Re: Last night's trauma
I did this last night and she continued to stare at it and hiss. It may work tonight thought.... I am nervous still...really hoping she have had enough rest to just ignore that whole ordeal (doubtful). |
