Toy aggression?

To this point Snoopy has never shown any form of cage aggression, but she is becoming aggressive about her toys. Lately I have just about had to remove her from her cage if I want to change her toys or move them around. Otherwise she gets upset and trys to grab them from me We used to play the game "I-drop-my-toy-on-the-floor-and-mommy-picks-it-up-and-gives-it-back-to-me". I now have to be careful when I give it back as she lunges in full attack mode. (I think she is lunging at the toy but have not left my hand there long enough to find out for sure )
Any thoughts?

My girl loves being there when I move around toys.

She lunges and jumps onto the toy so I move both her AND the toy lol! She'll then get off that toy when I have finished, climb out of the cage and "help" me by holding onto the fixings above the bars and starts all over again! She purrs and coo's the whole time and I get lots of kisses.

If this is a new thing then maybe your bird has the beginnings of "I'll help Mam, I'll help!" Maybe she's just being a tad TOO enthusiastic at the minute? lol

Many birds do not want our hands in their house or on their furniture (toys) including mine. It is most likely a behavior we must put up with. Some birds take out their frustrations on a particular toy and that is a good thing. With a perch on the inside of the door Rosie can step out of the cage and climb about when she wants to. That is when I do the cage cleaning and changing of toys. I read if you think of the bird cage as having different rooms. The bedroom is off limits to us and the front foyer is where we can get them to do step ups to get out of the cage. Quakers even want to rearrange their furniture to suit them as part of the communial nest building instinct.

Gandalf used to have a toy that was truly his favorite. It was a "hidden treat" toy, pink and yellow on a chain. He loved it so much, he would regurgitate on it, and sometimes he would hold it and rub the back of his head with it. The funny thing is...if he ever got mad at me for something, he would go yell at the toy and hit it around until he got his frustrations out. I guess it was really a "love/hate" thing.

He did not like me playing with his toys either. I would remind him that I paid for them, but he really didn't seem to care. He would usually just walk over calmly, grab the toy, and pull it away from me. If I resisted, I would get a successively firmer series of nips. At least he was trying to "instruct" me as to property rights, rather than just go full out aggressive.

I haven't seen any toy aggression out of Bitty yet, though she did give me a nip this morning...I think it was because she was expecting some almonds, and all she got was Zupreem pellets. She'll forget all about it tonight when I give her some hazelnuts and brazil nut.

We always enjoy reading your Gandolf stories.

Nicky gets too excited when I change his toys. He lunges after the one I am holding, shakes it, and laughs but sometimes he gets my hand (by accident I'm assuming) so I have to make sure that my hand isn't in the line of sight. Gracie on the other hand is a grumpy girl and growls at me and tries to bite me (this I am sure is not by accident lol).
