Well! Charlie our pet bird (Quaker parrot) is in a crabby mood with me today

Well! Charlie our pet bird (Quaker parrot) is in a crabby mood with me today.  He seems to like everyone else except me!  He goes to bite me when I go near him. BUT  when I put my shoulder bird bib on he still climbs on, excited about going for a ride I suppose.  He then realised it was me and went to peck my neck, I growled at him and he stopped for a little while then went to peck me again. When I go to give him some fruit or vegies he makes a lot of noise, shakes his head and really grabs the food and turns his back on me!  Apparently some birds do that from time to time. He has done it before to my son and my self.  He is usually ok the next day, but I do wonder why he does this.

It was interesting though, that when he saw the bird bib he forgot that he was crabby with me and just hopped onto my shoulder!  Since having the bibs I don’t let him onto my shoulder without having one on as I can’t stand having bird pooh on my clothing anymore, they are great!!  We use 3 shoulder bibs.  One for putting on, one as a spare and one in the wash.

Well it is bedtime for Charlie now, but HE doesn’t think it is!  He just doesn’t want to get into his bird cage.  He is squawking and grabbing the cage and running onto the top of it.  This is what he does at EVERY bedtime!  When we finally get him in, he pecks at the door and shakes it.  The door is left open all day, it is only closed at bedtime. We had to put pegs on both doors and where his food and water goes as he opens them up.  Once we put his cover over him and turn the light off he settles down and doesn’t make a sound! (until morning).

My son and his girlfriend are so patient with him, but I think he is just spoilt.  They keep talking to him and saying over and over again, it’s bedtime Charlie, come on Charlie, go to bed Charlie. They expect him to just walk in there and sit on the perch and go to sleep, I think they eventually want to say go to bed Charlie and he will go himself!! (I say, just put him in there)!  He is only 9 months old and not saying many words at the moment, I hate to think what he will say when he learns to talk!  He already shakes him head when he doesn’t want to do something.
