Something has changed in Parry towards me...i think it might have been while at a bird care class we visited (to show off some of our foster birds) while i was trying to calm her, i tried touching her toes which she didn't really care for, but didn't really move away from me. after that, whenever i approach, she lifts all of her feathers on her head and neck as if she is going to attack. not 100% sure that this is attack mode, but i respect her space and move away anyway. oh, and she also pins her eyes at me.

im hoping it wasn't because i tried to calm her by touching her feet...maybe its the time of the year? anyways, im pretty much going back to square one with her. just spending time with her with some distance, and offering her a treat everytime i go and visit her. the last thing i want is for her to be in a situation with me where she feels she needs to attack me.

but she is a good girl, nevertheless. my husband is still able to scratch her all over her face and neck. she loves to forage in her toys and also make some contact calls in the morning and evening with the other birds.
