Hi i got a 12 yo Meyer, he has been with us for 8 month now. My wife has become his nr1 and he feel i am a competitor. When I am Alone with him he is fine and we can interact but when my wife is in the house, he will chase me, following me on every step, often he will fly on the floor and run to bite my feet.
Ignoring him is not an option as i do not want to be biten on the toes. His bites are really hard.when he is like that nothing helps even my wife cannot make stopping chasing my feets (In Sweden we do not wear shoes inside houses.) in order to make him stop I put a shoe that he hates in front of him he jumps on it and bite it. I then put the shoe in the cage with the bird.i know this wrong but we do not find an other way. He calms down and when he is out again he is fine for about 30 min and then it starts all over again. I appreciate any help. Thanks/Chris
