parry is really a great bird. she still plucks, unfortunately, but we do use various foraging toys and let her out of her cage a lot to dissuade her from this. she still works very well with my husband, stepping up when asked. for me, mostly because i am very intimidated by her beak, i only interact with her by handing her treats or talking with her. i don't really show her my fear just because its not really a fear anymore since i've lived with her for a couple of months (i do stand my ground, which she just decides she can walk over my lap like a small road-block, lol). i just rather have a good living relationship with her without putting more stress on her and me.

things are going well. she likes to rip up towels, which we have a few old ones reserved for her.
