2 birds, give each a treat. Younger one sees the other with a treat, drops his and goes after the other. Second one drops treat and flies away. Now 2 treats on the floor and 2 birds looking at me wondering why I'm not giving them another. :headsmack: How do I train him not to do that?

There is a lot of time the younger will fly over to...or on top of, the older one. Luckily Bailey is very easy going and always flies off, but it seems stressful after awhile. I know the youngster just wants attention. I need to teach boundaries somehow. I've tried getting his attention with other toys or treats when he's behaving this way - hasn't worked yet. Any ideas? :hmmm:

Could you take them out separately? Like in a different room so the baby can have a little bit more attention one on one
