Hi,
My blue and gold Peanut is 3.5 years old. I think she is very spoiled, hence I am having problems with screaming now. I am expecting a baby and really would like her to settle down so the house stays a little more quiet.
I worked from home the past 4 years and the bird has been my baby literally. Her cage is in my office, she was out for hours per day and ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with me. I managed to train her to have breakfast with my husband and I and I spend about 1 hour per day with her one-on-one playing, preening and doing tricks. Is that too much? She plays on her playstand for another 2 hours maybe, sometimes more, but she demands my attention constantly by screaming and being loud. She sleeps about 12-14 hours in her cage under her cover. I am terrified that she will start to feel lonely and plug her feathers once the baby comes and I have less time for her. My husband spends time with her also, but not as much as me as he is out working all day. Anybody have experience with a new baby and a blue and gold or how to get her to play quietly more often on her own?
