I've had my Nanday for going on 2 years and we have absolutely LOVED each other...until tonight.
This is TOTALLY my fault, but I need to fix it, please help!!
I was in the bathtub with Pepper on my shoulder (per usual). He flew to my husband and then tried to fly back to me and one of his toes went INTO my skin. It wasn't just scratching, it went completely into my back-of course, this was extremely painful so I reacted LOUDLY and said "OW!" Then yelled and Pepper flew out of the bathroom.
Now, he's never been my husband's biggest fan, but now he won't leave his side. When I left the room, he didn't fly out to find me, and didn't even flock call. When my husband left, he immediately left the room. We tried this a couple of times, but he either flock called to my husband or tried to fly out and find him. It's basically like he flipped a switch with his humans. He's kind of tolerating me, but not really. Now he's biting me too...HARD. I haven't reacted at all, but he's clamped down and won't let go several times. I've tried to talk to him sweetly and gave him an almond and a Nutriberry, but he doesn't seem to be interested in me at all.
He played with me a little on the floor and let me pet him while we were in a "tent" made out of a towel. But he won't stay on my shoulder at all and started biting me when I asked him to step up off of my husband.
This only happened like an hour and a half ago, but I am physically SICK at the thought of losing my bird like this.
Any suggestions other than obviously taking things slowly? I feel like the worst parront.
