So i’ve been doing training with blaise to get her comfortable with my family. she’s done amazing with it and was stepping with and very comfortable with my mum. which is very important because tomorrow i’m going away for 2.5 days. So my mum needs to be able to put the birds in and out because blaise and isla can’t be out together.
Today i went shopping and i was gone a couple hours so i texted my mum asking to swap the birds out. i’ve showed my mum how to get blaise to step up and blaise has done it well. today blaise bit her. blaise has never bitten anyone but today she did. it wasn’t too bad but she did draw blood. blaise was stressed of course so my mum left leaving just blaise and hiro out.
When i got back we both went up so i could see what my mum did to see if i was wrong at all. it wasn’t. i showed my mum again how to get blaise to step up. the second my mum got anywhere near blaise she flew away. every time. i tried a few different ways. her favourite treats. using target training. she stepped up every time for me but flew away if my mum got close. i then tried to see if blaise would out my mums hand. she did a couple times to get a treat then moved away fast.
I also tried to see what blaise would do with my dad because obviously i didn’t see the way my mum tried to get her to step up the first time though i have told her what to do and what not to do. blaise didn’t let him near her at all. which isn’t normal. we aren’t even in my bedroom now which is where she normally is. i brought her down after me and my mums failed attempts to get her to step up to my mum. blaise is very alert if someone comes into the room. only the other day i brought her downstairs with my whole family and grandparents and she was brilliant! even last night she was able to be in the same room with them with no problem.
Blaise has become very bonded to me. she likes to sit on me and be with me a lot. she’s also been trying to regurgitate a lot more which i’m not allowing of course. i’m not sure if she can sense i’m going anyway for a little bit or something. the problem is i leave tomorrow! up until today she’s been fine with everyone. now she can’t be relaxed in the same room as them. Not sure what else i could try? any idea what’s caused this to happen today? my worry is if my mum can’t get her safely in and out her cage then blaise will have to stay in the cage for the time i’m gone which doesn’t sound nice at all. really want to avoid that at all costs. any ideas of what else i can try
