My 10 year old U2 NEVER bites me..at least, almost never...
Probably once every 4 months (if that, and those aren't hard).
I had to leave her with my parents to attend a wedding for 3 days and she knows them...she even has a duplicate cage at their home LOL.
Anyway, when I came home last night, she RANTED.....(like a crazy person at a bus-stop) for a full 20 minutes NON-STOP and then, after I held her and put her down, she started lunging at me (granted, it was past her bedtime and I knew she was already mad at me for leaving).
Today, she was super loving and happy to see me, and then, when I told her I had to "go return the car" she lost her ever-loving mind haha. OY---here is my arm. This was achieved through a sweater sleeve. She is over it now (or so it seems) but this is the most angry she has ever been over a trip....I was shocked at her behavior today, and I took it (no reaction) because I have found that even a firm "no" can add fuel to the fire. DANG though...Good thing I lover her so much, or she would have had bigger problems ha. Anyway, I am glad that she is generally very nice----this certainly is a good reminder of how birds can "turn on a dime" though!!!!!!!!! THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN OVER 10 HOURS AFTER THE BITES!
She is still my baby
Just thought people should see what she is capable of when NOT trying her hardest lol
