Hello everyone
I have a short story to tell. When I normally arrive home from work I get mugged by Tequila (the dog) and have to pay her with a five minute rub. Then I go to the bathroom and get changed out of my work clothes, the shirt is a Hi-Vis Orange. I then give my other half a kiss and go out onto the verandah and say hello to Henry and Angel.
But today I stopped to give my work car a wash and was around 25 minute late home. When I got home I got my usual mugging from Tequila. But I never got out of my work clothes, gave my other half a kiss and hug. But Henry and Angel had been brought inside.
This is were it got weird with Angel, she step up without hesitation and started to cuddle against me and gently started to chew on my shirt. So I went and sat down on the recliner and I could touch her all over, from head to tail. In fact I was able to rub her head without any reaction shown at all. She seem to be focus on my shirt and she was totally sweet and playful. The only thing that was different was my shirt and she was a changed bird. So I think I wear an Orange shirt when handling her.
these are photos of her stepping up onto my hand.

Instead of making her homicidal it makes her happy and playful. All I have ever found was triggers and my hands, ears, and neck have paid dearly for it. My birds got set off by the wrong hat, a hoody, eating food without immediately sharing, etc. Luckily Dobby just runs away or bluffs when he see's one, Lurch would go full kamikaze bird on me/us
