I'll make this long story short. She's been in the family for at least 2 years now. Its me, my father and my mom. Me and my mom go along the bird very well, but my father has a ... particular relationship with the bird. Often she'll "aim" at him when he leaves, and whines when he's in the basement with the light open, for example. However, she never stays on him and he never allows it.
The problem: Recently she got close as he was leaving and, like usual, he wanted to push her way, but though "hey, lets hit her with my coat." She fall down on a shoe, and he kicked the shoe. She screamed and rapidly flew over to the other side of the room, hitting a window and falling down.
He left, I took the bird and she looked fine. But she seemed hesitant (more than ever) to get on our fingers and such. And when my mother tried again, she went nuts and flew away, hit a window, then flew away to the other side, hit the front door's window. Then she stopped and I tried to took her before she flew away again. I didn't hurt her but she looked extremely scared and left quite a few sounds until she calmed down slightly.
Now, she's staying on my mother's shoulder (most of the time, she's on her), and she refuses to take anything, to get on anybody's finger, even her favorite occasional food, like cereals, which she always takes, well now.. she doesn't.
I won't dispute the stupidity of my father's action but I'm worried about the bird, obviously. I don't know what else to say, I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to help her or if it'll just come back to normal with time. I don't want her to go crazy again and hurt or kill herself...
