this morning I found out what Kristen (the woman who messaged me to take Leaf since he was attacking her boyfriend) was talking about when she messaged me about Leaf attacking her boyfriend. Bow was chilling on the couch (she was allowed out while Soap was kenneled because Soap is prey drivey and Bow doesn't care, she's already been chastised for looking and does her BEST to ignore him). well, Bow got off the couch and Leaf flew after/attacked her, then flew back to me. so I kenneled Bow and oh I am so glad that it was Bow and not Soap because Soap would've turned and gone after him. scared the life out of me. but now I'm going to have to talk to the vet about how to train that out of him (if that's possible) so he's not super uncomfortable if I ever have someone over and he doesn't think that the person I have over is going to take me away from him PLUS I don't want him attacking my roommate.
please try not to be too hard on me about how I had my dog out, I'm already kicking myself and feeling super guilty and beating myself up about it. :'( I'm just so glad he didn't get hurt and I've got both the dogs in their kennels and I'm going to be asking the vet about behvavioural things as well when I call to make the appointment. I know I did a no-no by leaving a dog out but I didn't anticipate this and I'm feeling super bad that I didn't just go ahead and take precautions over it. however, it did give me an insight to his behaviour and I hate that it was that but I also am glad it wasn't a visitor to my house or my roommate.
could this be because I'm his third home? could it be hormones? or maybe it could just be who he is? he's an eight year old Sun Conure (birthday is today!!).
