We've only had her for about a month now, Peach is super sweet and loves to sit with me on the couch and I think she tolerates some pets on her head but she isn't a real "cuddly" bird... I know these guys take a long time to adjust but her previous owners (Only had her for 1.5 years) said the same thing that you have to catch her in the right mood... but not really "cuddly". However she is very independent! She is 13 years old and the people I adopted her from got her from a bird show, there was a breeder there who had her and she "didn't work out" in there breeding program? Thats the only info I have... She calls herself "Paco" so somewhere along the lines someone assumed she was male! She is also missing a toe. Otherwise she's in great health. Does that mean she was not cuddled as a baby and maybe was kept with other M2's? Do you think It's just way too early and even the people who had her before us didn't have her a long enough time to really get to know her? Or could this just be her personality? I love her no matter what and I have always expected nothing from her- what she has given us has been amazing, she makes us smile and laugh and I don't care if she ever wants scratches... But I am just genuinely curious because everyone says how "cuddly" these birds are! Maybe she's just matured into an adult- she does display a lot of "mating" behaviors... I am very careful not to touch her anywhere but her head and if she starts getting worked up I put her on her playstand! I've researched a ton about not letting them "bond" to you and become hormonal!
Edit: we know she is female because she laid two eggs with her previous owners...
