Its been a little while since I've been on here posting got a new job and have been busy. As some of you may know I have a mini Cockatoo dressed as a Timneh. Who is a Velcro bird from the minute she wakes up to the minute she goes to bed. I think puberty has hit and she has been stand offish lately. She knows how to make me just about ready to burst from anxiety; if she isn't getting all of my attention. I need to be more strict in my ways with her and am unsure how to discipline some of her actions. She sometimes will want my drink and while I'm drinking slam into the glass spilling it and scaring me in the process. She scrabbles up one side and down the other like a bug which doesn't bother me. Except when she is trying to get something she wants and its non stop. Either my food, drink, phone, any bottle my fault. I figured the tops of milk jugs and other random bottles washed of course would be a cheap toy that she really loves. But she attacks most bottles now, sometimes viciously. I love Timneh but I need to find a little balance. She has learned to fly down the stairs now also so the whole house is a free flight zone for her. Just wondered if anyone else on occasion gets frustrated and overwhelmed with their baby? Timneh knows me well and sometimes uses it to mischief I have know doubt. She is quick to forgive any of my outbursts of "ENOUGH" or "STOP" sometimes I think she just wants to see the show. Then after sit on the door mockingly saying stop, stop, stop, as I just walk away shaking my head, well played Timneh well played. Timneh is a fantastic parrot in every way and I feel bad I have failed to train her properly so far. Bite pressure stepping up and little things like that she does great. I work at 5 am and so I wake her up before work so she can potty cause she doesn't like going in her house. I reach in no worries and she steps right of her sleeping spot onto my finger no questions asked. Sometimes in the morning she goes potty in the sink with the water running to help her go if I'm in a hurry. Guess the water running trick works for parrots too. LOL. She loves me tons and I love her tons so I know we will figure it out just needed to do a little venting. I think she knew it cause she hasn't moved from on top of my head the whole time I've been typing. Thanks g\for listening gang hope all is well with everybody.
