HI ALL
Luna is trying my patience - and I usually have a lot....
She won't stop going for my fingers or my hair.
I am getting more nervous of having her out of the cage & I know that won't help as she wants to be out.
Any help and advice would be great as I am trying to cope with this at the same time as my own health having a go at me, and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
I love her & want to do whats right, but there are times when I want to ring her neck (Don't worry, I Wont do it! I mean metaphorically not literally!)
Thanks Guys
Luna is trying my patience - and I usually have a lot....
She won't stop going for my fingers or my hair.
I am getting more nervous of having her out of the cage & I know that won't help as she wants to be out.
- When I am in the room she plays happily on her own in her cage, and also likes to watch me. When I leave the room sometimes it's like a dog has got hold of a squeaky toy & won't stop!!!
- She sits at the door and watches me till I let her out. Then when I sit down she flies to me, wanting to be with me - ok so far.
- then she wants her way & climbs into my hair. She gets tangled in my hair, pulls on it & this gives me a headache, so I have been trying to stop her, and trying to remove her, and she goes for my fingers or hands
- when she is on my shoulder she can be the sweetest thing ever & gives me kisses etc.
- It's like living with a Jeckle & Hyde bird
- Then she keeps going for my fingers and hands, even when I am doing something else & not trying to touch her. Example is she is sat on my shoulder nicely & I am talking to her while doing computer stuff, when suddenly she will just go for my fingers/hands. they are not even near her and she will jump down and attack them.
- She is spending a lot of time chewing on baby toys in her cage - baby teathing rings seem to be a thing she loves! Could this be making her bite more?
- If the bird people I purchased her from got it right, then she is about 9 months old (Not DNA'ed) so could it be puberty early stages??
- She is eating well.
She has stopped melting, for now anyway
She is drinking well
Her poo is normal
she is developing lovely new feathers & I have been helping her pins, with head scratches which she has been loving up till last week.
Any help and advice would be great as I am trying to cope with this at the same time as my own health having a go at me, and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
