Wow what a change I've had with my birds these past few weeks. Mango is fully flying now, he listens occasionally, and refuses to let me touch him. When I do have to, he screams at me as if I'm pulling feathers. No more cuddling or head scratching, I've now got a teenager. Mango is 8 months old and I do know this is a time of change for him. I do hope this behavor doesn't last and I know he must be enjoying his freedom of flying. I've thought about having his wings clipped but I like the idea of him being able to get places when needed. Every day I have to have a little talk with him about how he is behaving I also have Kodiak to deal with. She is 4 months old and she has been nothing but a bitter since I got her, a hard one at that and has also been very timid. Her personality sure has come out these days. She is very protective of Mango and the two of them go everywhere together. She's already one of those territorial females about 'their' cozy and within a certain range of her. Mango still attacks my boyfriend for reasons unknown even after months of the spray bottle training. I see Mango's sweetness come out here and there but I feel like it's Kodiak that screams at him to play with her instead of me hehe esp when he comes over for kisses. At least the two of them still enjoy my company, but they do seem a bit more wild even with constant attention. Most days it sounds like we have 10 birds instead of two, they are chatter boxes and it always makes me laugh.
