To answer tikimyn. There isn't really anything that happens before. Alot of the times he attacked me he would come to me landing on my hands or shoulder. It wouldn't take him 1 minute to attack. Ever since we got him he has bit my hands but there is a difference between a bite and attack. He was taking chunks of skin. Not letting go. I did start putting him in his cage when he attacked for a time out. Like 20 or 30 min. My husband has been spending lots of time with him since they became friends.rubbing his belly and feet. I have read that can be sexually stimulating. Is this true. My husband has backed off a bit maybe that is why Chester is coming back around to me. Also I read about a woman taking showers with her bird in order to give medication. And the bird rejected its female bird mate. Husband has been taking Chester in the shower with him. Is that something that would change Chester view of me. Also wondering how to figure out who is who according to Chester in our flock of 6. Husband, wife, 3 teenage daughters and youngest is a boy. Husband has befriended Chester recently, wife Chester has always liked me but when I have my work days he seems to get angry, big sis was his favorite person ever she has no fear but he has been getting ornery with her lately,middle sis had to work to be friends then she was home recovering from surgery and they got along really well now she is back to school and he is being mean to her, lil sis Chester didn't like her at first but I think it was because she was afraid but now they are really good friends, lil brother is cheaters best friend I think. he does everything for lil bro first. All new tricks or behaviors. He does feel safe enough with everyone to roll over on his back. Hopfully this is good info not just rambling on.
