Hi All Some of you have heard from me before. I am a relativey new guardian for Rosie, my 5 month old grey. I live with a cat and small dog and no other flock members. Rosie is fast becoming a one person bird. The guest I have had in receive a very loud growl. With patience and a little treat some of these people are lucky enough to have her step up on their hands. I must work 3 days out of the week and really hate to leave her alone. I play the radio and give her toys to destroy from her most likely frustration of being alone. She gets lots of out of cage time when I am home. Do any of you have any other suggestions for the prevention of behavior problems and how to deal with my guilt about leaving her on these work days?? It is amazing to me how much one can love a bird.
