Well, firstly - THANK YOU! to everyone who commented on the last post - you helped to put my mind at ease, and i think we are through the worst - the 'feak-outs' have been happening less frequently, and she seems to be able to bring herself back round to normality much quicker when they do. She was great this morning, then got excited when i was running a tap in the bathroom ( i think she wanted a bath, but its -3 here!) and flew round like a nutter, so the only way to catch her would be with a towel, and i thought, sod it! Ill have a go at cliping her since im going to have to towel her anyway...she was brilliant! I have been a bit worried about clipping her myself, and my friend is coming over in a bit supposedly to help me lol, plus after hearing things like oooooo, she'll hold it against you! and i thought i would need at least 8 arms to do it by myself lol! But honestly, she was so well behaved it was done in two seconds, and she crawled out of the towel, onto my hand, then tried to fly to the cage, tumbled to the ground, and the second she landed (iv only done a light clip btw) I 'rescued' her, and shes been wanting cuddles ever since! i hope that this is the sign of things to come, and now i know i can, i will keep ontop of a light clip, then hopefully she wont get so bloomin excited, and fly about and freak herself out like a lunatic!

will keep you all posted, an hpefully the flight was the issue!

sorry for the essay - and thanks again! Really appreciate it!
