I have been waiting for a year for Paris (senegal) to finally grow back her flight feathers. She finally has them in, and after a trying time of re-learning to fly and a few crahes, she is flying beautifully now.
The problem is, Paris is very needy, and very bird aggressive and jealous. She now is regularly flying to Alex's (macaw) cage and landing on the top or side. This is where Alex hangs out and obviously she does not appreciate the intrusion. Even though I am there the cage is taller than I am so Alex could potentially make it up to the top before I could get Paris off. This is a recipe for disaster.
Separate out times would really be extremely difficult. The tiels have to have separate time, and Sprite does too. As it is now Alex, Sembre, and Paris are all out at the same time on their respective cages/play areas. I interact with each one for a time and then they go to their cages/play gym/trees. This was working beautifully until now since Paris can now fly to me while I have another bird on me or she can go to other dangerous areas (i.e., Alex's cage).
I am pro flight and I really don't want to clip her. Does anyone have any suggestions?
