crazy cockatoo issues

[johnandjessi]

okay.. so posted this in cockatoos, maybe this is a better place..., so i posted a few weeks ago about this and it hasn't changed... so want some more ideas... we got a cockatoo about a month ago, shes 13 years old, we had went to the peoples house (who were more like a rescue but had her a while) she would talk up a storm, do tricks, cuddle with us, just the best lil sweet bird... got her home, she was the same for about a week, then one day she'd run from me, like freak out and hide and run away litterally sometimes... then a few days later she has done the same from my wife... my friends and anyone else can be all over her and shes as sweet and cuddly and comes right to them like a dog, but the 2 of us can't barely open the cage b/c she acts scared... its been about a month of this now, i still slowly open her cage door everyday so she can get out if she wants, idk what to do, and its really starting to frustrate my wife.... at the moment shes cuddled w/ my dad, he said he thought she was jealous but she did come from a hoouse w/ other birds.. we have 2 others, we never clipped her wings or anything to her yet... anyone please give me ideas of what to do.. nothing has changed i try to keep my appearance the same and everything..

I have a U2 that usually loves everyone, but sometimes she goes through phases where she prefers certain family members. Not the extreme of your situation, though.
