I have 2 female macaws. They found some boxes at the bottom of the steps and tore them up and would go up and down for about a month. They seemed to be having fun so I let them. They have laid eggs now and then this year while on there perch. They laid eggs 5 days ago in this mess of boxes at the bottom of the stairs. Since then I can't go near them, they attack and bite me. Last night I used a towel and brought them up to their perch. They were so upset for hours that I let them go back down. I put their food on the steps because they won't come up. I know they are suppose to protect their nest but I was crushed at how mean they were to me. I want my pets back. I don't want to upset them more than I have to. Is it better to let them set until they tire of it or should I make them come up and make it where they can't see the old nest site.
