[QUOTE="Dr Mengele, post: 55597, member: 4138"] I believe in compromising and sharing.. My Last GF didnt care for my Parrots, My 6 year old DYH Amazon " Zoe" came took great offense when Tammy came over and sat with me on the couch or cuddled. My Parrots are 'Flighted'. One time Zoe flew over very quietly and climbed up the couch, and Bit the crap out of Tammy. It didnt require stitches but was pretty bruised. I felt Horrible and Put Zoe in her cage while Zoe Literally laughed like a Human about it. Yea, Zoe is easily as smart as a 4 or 5 year old and has a very good sense of humor. She asks for food by name, says "no" when she doesnt want to do something she doesn't want to do AND thinks Im the "Alpha" in our "flock" that she needs to get my "Back"...I raised her from a very young bird and had to Hand feed her formula and all that. Anyhoo, Tammy was VERY upset and said something along the Lines of " If we ever moved in together that Zoe and my other Amazon "Murphy" had to 'GO" !! ..... I told Her this exactly... "These Parrots are My children" and that if she ever made me choose between them and her again that that was a simple choice for me".. I left it hanging and got Tammy a Band Aid and her coat and showed her the door.... She stormed off and a few days later called me and said she "didnt have any right" to ask that of me... Now when Tammy comes over i put my birdies in tier cage with snacks or they go into their play room .... Not a sermon, just a thought! [/QUOTE]
