Hi guys,
I'm sorry I've not been around for a long time, I usually use tapatalk app for this forum but it logged me out and I can't get back in so I've had to come back on the browser.
Wanted you all to know we're getting on well during the pandemic although as I'm sure a few of you have found, it came during hormone time so echo has been very aggressive of late (kind of why I logged in I guess for a little advice which I'll ask later)
Me and connor are well, although gained lots of weight during lockdown. Connor is furloughed and facing redundancy, my job has been unaffected as I work in insurance software.
Echo's tail briefly grew back and she's back to having one feather again, I guess that's just how she is, she doesn't pluck but maybe she either overpreens her tail or has heavy landings because if you separate the feathers you can see she has them but must are cut in half.
Anywho she's healthy and I think she's happy. We have her on a fully pelleted diet now, I tried pellet mixed with dried fruit to begin with but she ignored the fruit lol.. We have a little stand for her on our desk now so she sits with us through the day.
So I was just looking for some advice on her aggression this hormone phase. She chose Connor as this years mate and she will not leave him alone, if he shrugs her off she'll jump straight back on, she gets anxious when he leaves the room etc.. She'll only come on me if she knows he's not in the house. However she keeps attacking him, these are the worst and most frequent (and as far as we can tell) unprovoked attacks we've ever had from her. He was lying on the couch and she went for his face, just today he was cleaning his desk and she flew over to him and bit his neck.. She bit so hard today her bottom beak broke the skin too.. When she attacks I put her in her cage and cover her up to let her calm down but yea i don't think it's anything we're doing I think it's just her hormones but is there anything we can do to keep her calm? I'm not a believer in keeping her locked up all day so she's back out the cage now but everytime she flaps I'm scared Connor is getting attacked again.
Anyway hope everyone is well, members I know and new ones since I last logged in.. I'll drop in some pictures for you all
