Hey! How often do you shower/bathe your too? My girl doesn't hate it but doesn't enjoy it much.
Also I was rereading the sticky about owning a too and saw the more about them entertaining themselves for 8 hours. My Lucy is in the room with me all day but not in contact she is on her perch playing and I'm working, reading, cleaning whatever... When I'm going to switch rooms I move her to another perch ...her cage is only generally for sleep or if I'm not home. Does this count as her being able to entertain herself? She is fine when I am not home.
Lastly the jealousy is reaching its peak...she is clipped and still decided to attempt a flying attack on my son and later on my boyfriend both of which were just passing by. I jumped up and made her walk back to her cage i didnt say anything but a stern no and used a pillow to herd her without touching her. I didnt want to give her the comfort of being picked up. I made her climb up on her own and put her to bed. Today she was a little better then I hung new toys and we were ignored lol. I know you shouldn't react to their bad behavior but I feel like she needs to know that isn't acceptable. I have trained horses, dogs, and even cats they are easy! Cockatoos...I am still unsure what to do when everyone is terrified of her and won't attempt to help me remedy the jealousy. So suggestions from my other thread on this topic won't work as everyone would rather avoid her than try to help her past it which only reinforces her bad behavior cause she is getting what she wants! Apparently they don't understand that! Ugh
