Simple answer: they never learned how to play.LOL
Im laughing because she really had NO fear. She even wants to go down to our conure Petey and see if he'll feed her. Petey is good though.. No signs of attacking her. But we move her away immediately. No sense taking a chance.
Thx Linda.
Punkin is going to be absolutely stunning after her first molt. Chewing/gnawing is how parrots learn how things feel and taste. Punkin is very bonded to you simply because of her very young age. Keep in mind, too, that each bird is different. What you need to teach her is to explore gently. With all my birds, my mouth, inside and outside, are off limits because the bacterial issues. Hopefully, Skyler and Punkin will become best friends!
