Oh Bosley, what am I going to do with you.

Well Bosley's hormones are at an all time high now.
This is his first year with me, so it's a learning experience.

Up until now it hasn't been too bad, mostly just the mating dance.
This past weekend though he decided to try a flying attack at hubby.
It was a fly by, just grazing the top of his head, but it happened about 4 times over the weekend.

So I have been making sure he is getting his sleep, I know to cut back on mushy warm fatty foods. I really don't want to clip his wings if I don't have too. Right now we are taking a cautionary approach and if I need to go out of the room I am either taking Bosley with me or putting him in his cage till I return. Bosley doesn't seem to mind this suprisingly. Any other ideas welcome.

I know this is why he was surrendered to the rescue the last time.
Will this go away again after the hormonal surges?
I will clip his wings if I have to, but he really is enjoying flying and it would be sad to do so.

I don't mean to be giggling, Sandy, but I now have this image in my head of Bosley the Kamikaze.

I'm sure your hubby wasn't so amused though.

If I were you, I'd hold off on clipping the wings, as he may get his horomes under control in a few months, especially since he so enjoys using his wings (other than just Kamikaze style).

I also think you are doing a GREAT job dealing with his hormone surges. KUDOS!!!

Wendy!!

I laughed so hard(I know doesn't help)and it looks exactly like your imagining it:22_yikes::22_yikes:

Hubby is being a trooper about it too.
Bosley is a funny boy too, one of the times after he did that he walked over our couch and sat on hubby's leg all calm. Now Bosley never does this so that was hilarious too.

Sandy, how's Bosley with hubby when you are out of sight?

I'm only asking because perhaps YOU are Bosley's chosen one, and Bosley is not keen on the idea of sharing you with hubby. (I know how all this sounds...HAHAHAHA!!!)

But I truly think he'll snap out of it sooner or later.

 

[SandyBee]

Oh there is no doubt I am Bosley's chosen one.

Up until now Bosley has been pretty indifferent towards hubby as long as he doesn't invade Bosley's space. They can be in the same room peacefully as long as Hubby didn't approach him or get to close.

But now, well with hormones kicking in Bosley has flown at him 4 or 5 times, sometimes when I am in the room and sometimes when I am not. Oh Hubby calls Bosley my boyfriend LOL.

Bos has been great with me, I can do almost anything with him. I had him hanging upside down from my hand yesterday. I can pick him up from anywhere. I have been taking him out in his carrier on the deck and we even went to the pet store for toys and nutriberries and then the park last weekend.

I sure hope he does snap out of it, he loves flying and my house is perfect for that.
