I haven't attempted bring Dixie to see Java because I don't trust Java at all, even in his cage. He's tried to attack other birds that gets too near his cage before. I freaked out one day when one of the babies flew on top of his cage and I quickly retrieved the baby before Java got ahold of their feet which he was moving in for the kill very quickly.
Mare,
IF you remember the time I got Java from a lady that was giving him away because of her husband's health and then drama broke loose on her end with divorce and all. Come to find out Java used to be named Louie, which belongs to a friend of my friend. Who's a friend of mine now...lol...Java was a rescue and it seems like Java been acting his way with every person he goes to. He will destroy your home and chew up everything and attack you IF you deny him anything. So I dunno IF I can ever make him stop as this been going on for at least 10 years and come to find out, Java might be older then what I was told which I was told he was 10 at the time which makes him 11 now but he's more like 13 or so. He has a long reckless history and a big time plucker, he stopped plucking for me thank goodness and grew all his feathers back....He remember him when he came to visit the other day, BUT I knew Java loves me more as he leaves him and came to the other side using his foot telling me to come here as he wants me instead. He did this when his last lady owner was here as well. I am trouble with a decision that I am unsure of....I was going to rehome Java as the last time he attacked me, he damaged my thumb nail when he bit through which is starting to grow out, but in a weird shape...So he adds another scar on me for life along with other scars on my arms and hands, but he prefers me....Sorry to ramble on in your post, I just wish my Java isn't so troubled and be more like Amigo....
