So Timneh seems overly aggressive toward paper towel roles when they are whole. She gave herself a little paper cut one day striking it too hard when I went to hand it to her. Didn't think too much of it but now trying to get Timneh to get onto a small wooden dowel from her travel cage I'm wondering. She would rather pinch me and get put down than step onto this rod and she basically attacked it. I did get her to step onto it for a very brief moment a couple of times. I'm wondering if this doesn't sound like the previous owners were using wooden rods to try and make her step up because they said she wasn't friendly and bit. Timneh is so sweet and awesome but I know her better now and can see a change come over her with certain objects, like anger and fear. Ticks me off to think anyone was messing with her in a bad way. On a lighter not I made our first vet appointment for Monday excited but nervous cause I can't get her in the carrier yet. When I was giving them our info Timneh wanted to be picked up and started screeching like Gotcha the Cockatoo (Cause we love their videos.) She asked me if I had a cockatoo in the house also LOL. Nope just my Timneh annoyed I'm on the phone talking and not talking too her. Thanks for listening everyone. Timenh definitely seemed a little worn out after this little training session with the wooden rod and is sitting quietly for the first time today. Over the years she will hopefully learn I love her very much and I am not those people. (Pretty sure she actually already knows that but still....)
