My half blind 11 year old puggle came over to hang out with Timneh and I on the couch. Not unusual but for some reason maybe jealousy Timneh pinches somewhere. Bella went of with a scream. Poor baby was shaking, she was just starting to be less afraid of Timneh. Didn't look like she broke the skin anywhere so that's good just a warning. Bella who doesn't see well probably never saw it coming. Hopefully she won't do it again I don't think she really wanted to hurt Bella just testing like she did with me. She's usually really nice with them. I have a 13 year old lab also who's having trouble getting around.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Definitely sounds like jealousy. Parrots can have "off" days as we do and have moments of irritation or frustration. Timneh made the conscious decision to avoid breaking the skin, hope Bella will be OK and not intimidated.
