:eek: So yesterday I come home and my mother met me at the door with Cricket, and she is looking at me through the little window making razberry noises at me. Well finely my mom steps back away from the door to let me come in and, i dont know why it spooked her, but she took off "flying" and hit the wall/floor and of course she has done this so many times we didnt think any thing of it. I pick her up and she is nibbling my hand and when I look down there was blood :confused: I whipe it thinking "hmm, I dont think she bite me" So I turn my hand over and she is nibbling and snapping her beak :33: more blood... uh-oh... I put my hand up to her and let her bite again, sure enough more blood!!! OK... now I am worried, as I try to get a closer look she nibbled one more time and then I felt it... the beak gave way under the pressure of the small bite :eek: OK.... now me and my mother are at full force, I am telling her to grab the phone while I dig for my vets number... by the time I find the damn thing (which is now on the fridge) she has stopped bleeding and start whistling and acting like nothing had happened....
I called anyways, vet said to just keep an eye on her and keep her calm. She was a little "diffrent" for a couple hours, but nothing to worry about.... She was back to making telephone rings and saying "Where's Bubba" in no time... oh and not to mention begging for food :D

Oh, Cricket, what's up with you girl? :confused:

Is it something that scared her , maybe something new in her enviroment, or could that be her medicines that may bring her aggression... :confused:

I don't know, just thoughts coming straight out my hand... :confused:

I guess that should be the reason too!Yesterday while Phoebus was preening, I touched him without him looking at me, he lets me preen him too when he is preening, he got scared and started grawling and that would go on for 20 min. doing the same when I put my hand near him!

She will get over it I believe, just let her relax a bit! :D

yeah it is, licky I can keep my cool under stress like this... my mother on the other hand, isn't so good at it

A couple months ago my grandfather passed out standing out and my mother was in peices.... we laugh about now... she was running in circles because she didnt know what to do first. Finely I sent her out of the house to get my father, accually it was more like "Mom! get out of my way, GO GET DAD"
And my father was in aw, he didnt know what to do in a more calm sence... just stood there... so now we like to say that if something were to heppen to me, know one would know what to do :33:
