Minor progress and a question

[a_osborne]

So I finally found something to distract Adrian enough to kind of trick her into stepping up onto my hand. I've discovered that a peanut in the shell takes just enough time and effort on her part to make her not realize its my hand she's stepping onto instead of the perch I usually use. I had tried tons of treats before with no luck, I'm guessing because they were all to easy for her to just grab and eat whereas I can continue to hold the peanut while she munches instead of just handing it over. Anyway, got her to step up without biting but after chewing the peanut for a few moments, she realized she was on my hand and started to bite some progress is better than no progress I guess. I intend to keep trying this.
Now for the question. Can anyone suggest how to make Adrian less aggressive towards Eva? They talk to each other and can see each other though they are in separate rooms. They do well on the play stand together but only while they are each sitting on a food dish on opposite ends of the perch where they can't reach each other. I have supervised all interactions. Adrian typically charges at her and tries to bite. Eva is cautious of her but, even though she is flighted, doesn't seem to realize she can fly away if she's scared. So I always remove Eva before anything can happen. Any ideas or will this just take time and doing what I'm doing?

I guess nobody wants to answer my question

Sorry -- I wish I could help you but I really don't have much advice to offer.

Do they play with foot toys? If you litter your table with toys you might be able to get them to play on opposite sides of the table and slowly work on getting them closer together without attacking each other. Some birds just will never want to be near each other, though.

Also, a caution about peanuts. Peanuts in the shell can be dangerous to birds because they can have aspergillus mold. I don't know a ton about it because I don't feed peanuts, but I've seen the caution around before. Something you might want to look into.

Adrian likes foot toys but not Eva and thank you for the tip about the peanuts! I didn't know that but will look into it.
