I have a Senegal and IRN. Both female. They are as night and day as my 9 and 10 year old children! My IRN is food obsessed. She sees food and all I can say is it makes me think of a drug addict. Its sad in a way. My Senegal, nothing like that. She can take it or leave it.
So then its the cage cleanliness. My Senegal has poop in one little pile on the side. Then maybe a drop or two under her food bowl.
IRN... OMG, she has poop everywhere. I picture a monkey smearing it all over the walls... that is her. I don't know how she does it! Her water bowl is a toilet. The side bars are gross. Her perches, ugh. She even manages to shoot it out of the cage onto the floor a foot away :06:

I am curious if this is a IRN thing or just a Dobby thing.

I think most animals are food obsessed in my experience, humans seem like the only
ones with some restraint... sometimes.

My IRN can squawk for hours but If I hang up this honey/nut treat he likes he'll sit there
eating it until it's gone.

Whenever I am eating when he happens to be outside his cage he will assume the food
is for him, land on my hand and try and steal it from me. It's got to the point where I avoid
eating cooked food when he's out because he'll try and land on the plate lol.

Oh, he sure is, especially when he sees his favorite food - pepper!
When he sees me washing it from his room, he immediately goes closer to the door (won't fly to me since he is scared of leaving his chambers), waiting impatiently for me to bring it. Yep, he sure is like a drug addict. :D Also, I can only lure him to land on my leg with food. Sadly, that is our only physical contact, but it is something :)
