Hello

[Phalanstery]

I acquired my Macaw in 2020 and was told she was a 5 year old female Blue and Gold. The previous household had two boys (Robert and Patrick), and I know this because she screamed "No, No, Robert", etc. She lived in a room with my numerous German Shepherds going in and out. I tried to take time with her while working full time. Then my husband, who was a stroke victim, took a turn for the worse. He died the next year. I didn't have the ability to pay much attention to "Bird" aside from feeding. 2004 I moved, bought a larger cage which I placed in my patio, and tried harder with her. We shared breakfast, she had free access wherever I was and all was good. Long story short, raccoons began to break in to my patio. My partner and I would catch and relocate them. "Bird" began to love my partner and seek his attention. Then one night I woke up to her screams and found a raccoon in her cage. I chased it away, but I believe she was traumatized. I think she now relates me to the raccoon, because she is very aggressive toward me, but seeks my partner's attention. I don't know what to do. Any advice?
