Hello!

What to do? Welcome to owning a parrot, they’re destructive. Some more than others.

Think of them like toddlers. If you don’t want something damaged or destroyed, don’t leave them within reach of your bird.

Give your bird ample opportunity for destructive toys a d especially foraging opportunities. A busy bird is less destructive.

Note the LESS destructive part. You can’t stop this really, it’s in their nature and it’s what you signed up for when you brought a parrot into your home. You can simply make every attempt to redirect, which won’t ever be a guarantee.

Thanks I was just worried that there was something wrong, she has toys but somehow prefers to destroy my belongings, also her memory is so good she remembers exactly places she has been
