A few months ago, my wife and I became the new owner's of three birds. Another couple was going through a divorce and were unable to keep them. Jay (an African Grey), came with his own cage. The girls, Sunny (Sun Conure), and Chloe (Maroon Bellied Conure) came with a cage they share.
At first, all the birds seemed to like us both. After some time Jay gravitated toward my wife, but is still OK with me. This seemed normal since he is a male. The conures, however, have become aggresive and vicious toward my wife. Whenever she walks by the cage, they begin to squawk and holler. If she is close enough to the cage, Sunny will jump on her (they are clipped) and bite her. They are OK sitting on their movable perch or on my shoulder with her around. This usually only happens when they are on/in their cage, and I am in the next room where they can't see me.
Any suggestions?
