Very aggressive behavior over a bell.
Monday I recieved one of those tubular SS bells about 3" long. He was a little curious at first then he whacked it around and enjoyed the tinkle sound.
Yesterday when I went to get him out of his cage for breakfast he was playing with it, I opened the door and he gave me the stink eye and went to bite me. I backed off thinking, wow he sure is protective of that bell and just let him come out on his own.
The day went well and since it was cool out I left the back door open and he learned how to fly from his outdoor aviary in and out of the house. Good day and a good Tinker.
Today breakfast time again he was a bit aggressive so I just walked away leaving the door open. Normally he steps up and lets me hold him up then he flies around a bit before eating. He ate well and after two hours he settled down and I picked him up and put him back as I had to go away for the morning. I came home at 2 and let him out.
Not a nice boy when I asked him to step up so I backed off.
Was ok after that so I decided to tidy up his cage and papers.
WELL all hell broke loose and he dive bombed me and pinched the back of my neck and hands.
I thought WTH was that about so a few minutes later I tried again. As soon as the bell tinkled he attacked but missed me as I ducked.
I got Teresa and she coach him out side and I cleaned the cage and moved the bell to his day station bong.
All's good right?
Not a chance, when I showed him where the bell was by rattling it he got me good. This time I could feel the blood running down my neck.
As soon as I get the chance it will be removed from the scene never to be seen again.
