Lady’s confidence has shot up over the past few months, she’s starting to get used to different toys, and will happily travel around the house on my shoulder.
The biggest change in her confidence is with my children and other animals in the house, and it seems she has decided that she is not at the bottom of the pecking order!!!!!!
Lady will chase the kids, dog and cats off the sofa, she will also at times fly at them to attack, she has also started to chase and attack my Amazon too. Now as frightening as that seems, and as problematic as it can be, I can’t help but look upon it as a positive!!
It just shows me how confident she has become, and how well she has settled into our family by establishing her position with us.
The main reason why I’m looking at this so positively, is because in the new year, the birds will have their very own room, so they will be away from the kids and the other animals, their main interaction will be with me, and their new room and toys. Of course they will still be very much a big part of our family, and will still be very much a part of family life, as the parrot room will be adjoined to the kitchen, where I will spend most of my time, and they will also have use of the kitchen space too, on their very own play area. Contact with my children and other pets will be quite minimal, which the parrots should be happy with as they don’t like the kids.
There will be a lot of changes for Lady and my other birds over the coming months, but they will be slow and steady, and I have every faith that Lady will be able to cope with the changes because of her increased confidence.
