Re: Training Miss Daisy

No -- it's strange, today as she wasn't allowed the remote with the batteries she became fixated on the mobile phone. Again flipping it over but with a case on she couldn't get the back off. It's almost as if there is some very low level electricity or charge that gets her motor running. I didn't kn...

Daisy - who used to be Feathers, is now 7 months old. She is a demanding little thing and for some reason is addicted to remote batteries. She can flip a large remote control, take off the battery door and pry out a battery in about 10 seconds. She then runs away with the battery very excited :D ( I...

Re: My bird hates me?

Re: Suddenly scared Feathers

Thank you all for your comments
She ate a nut while sitting on top of my head today - so I guess that is progress :D

Re: Suddenly scared Feathers

Thanks for the quick reply It was a seed bar I was trying to put in her cage -- when she went ballistic. Should I try again do you think? She has come back to taking a nut from between the bars of her cage, but still won't come anywhere near my hand inside the cage. I talk to her a lot and kissy noi...

Suddenly scared Feathers

A few days ago, i had bought her a new seed block for her cage and tried to put it in and she went be...
