Hi Judi, I know what you are saying, and my take is..I feel animals feel the tension of their owners, wheather it be birds or dogs, cats. If you are tense with her, maybe she would be happier with the person you have in mind. You know better then we do. She sounds like Zack acts, only he wants to be with me, now Noel doesn't want to be with anyone, but she doesn't get nippy either. Am I making any sence, here, I know in my mind what I am trying to say. With you getting another bird she is going to get less time and maybe she needs more time. I know P'lets can go back to being wild very easy, if not messed with daily. The boys are they afraid of her? If so she shouldn't be there. I feel the family and the pet should live in harmony.
