i don't think she's bluffing, i mean her eyes haven't pinned up. shes just possessive of her stuff and hates everyones hands. today shes started sleeping with her head buried backwards into her back.....she never sleeps like that.....thats so weird!??!

Hi:). I have had Maia for like almost three months now. She eats from our hands, i.e. my mom's, my sister's, other children, and me except she doesn't like my father or my aunt. She doesn't allow us to pet her. i want to try to get her to get onto my finger. She sort of bites at it but not really h...

Yes, i will still have Maia. but will they get over one another? ree doesn't have a problem already. but like will Maia eat again? will she stop going all hysterically and losing her balance and falling to the bottom of the cage?

I am sure they were fighting. Ree's eyes get all small and she screeches and pecks at Maia, sometimes she even pulls at her left eyelid:/...they haven't eaten today, but we have to give one away because we can't have two seperate cages in the house. Maia is pacing up and down her perch and moving a...
