Sounds like you did the right thing, they are so tough yet fragile at the same time so got to be careful 
So true. She acts tough at times, like when Frankie and her are having a screaming match and all, but she's very fragile. I sometimes look at her and can't believe that even with what she had endured at her previous home, she still opened herself to put her trust and love into us.Sounds like you did the right thing, they are so tough yet fragile at the same time so got to be careful![]()
She's good, thank you. She's on her egg constantly unless she's hungry or thirsty lol.How's Miss Dolly?
Sorry your going through all of this. Its got to be extremely fustrating. I would make sure that from now on Hubby is the only one that ever gives her a treat or feeds her. I would not allow her to chase him..even if its a game of tag. Im sorry i dont have more advice. Dolly must see you as her mate. In the wild they develop very strong bonds so in her eyes she is doing what comes natural. I dont have macaws so hopefully someone will chime in with more advice.Thank you all. I'm at my wits end. She is determined she is going to attack hubby.
I don't know what brought this on so suddenly. She has always been happy and content with both of us.
Now if we're on the couch, she will run off me to him and try to bite.
@Davi , thanks for that suggestion. They have always got on with hubby singing la la and her dancing on his arm, and giving him big wings on request. The new game she has started seems to be her version of tag. She will chase hubby around the living room.
This morning, she was on her cage platform, calm, and he was in front of her making kissy sounds, which he always does. Well, she flew at him. Just missed his face. I put her in her cage, but she screamed like a looney tune until I sat near her.
Hubby is threatening me now it's him or her.
I am devastated and wish things could go back to normal. I don't know what to do.
This has all happened this past week. I've told hubby to just ignore her and let her come around on "her" terms, but he's paranoid of her biting him now, which I can't really blame him...
Oh thanks. Ummm that changed dramatically through the post, in case you didn't see.Sorry your going through all of this. Its got to be extremely fustrating.

So now, when he comes home, he literally has to run through the kitchen to the living room to take them off, before Frankie goes into full blown attack mode.
He absolutely HATES the orange color on them.
The first day he sat in the kitchen with them on, he had to put his legs up on the chair, and Frankie was trying to jump up to grab them. When that didn't work, he tried to climb up the leg of the chair but kept sliding down.
Meanwhile, I had a screaming lunatic (hubby) freaking out Frankie was going to get him.
So, of course while trying not to pee myself laughing, I got Frankie to the back of the kitchen so hubby could escape.
Hubby got trained real quick and doesn't linger in the kitchen until he's iin "safe" attire.
She's good thank you. Egg days are over. (thank god). She's just had a good mist and is sitting contentedly getting dry. I have a heater right by her stand. She's busy eating her pine nut treats and veggies.Oh FrankieYou do make me chuckle to be fair I agree work trousers aren’t the nicest
how’s little dolly
