Meeting neighbors
Duckie has suddenly decided my hand in her cage is a bad thing. She'll get as far away from it as possible - never any aggression, though. She still runs to me when I come down in the morning, still loves head rubbins through the cage bars, still as happy as ever when she comes out on her own, but my whole hand in her cage asking her to step up is apparently not a thing she likes anymore. She'll take treats from me eagerly as usual through the cage bars, but when it's in my hand in the cage, she's extremely hesitant. This behaviour change just came up overnight and to my knowledge nothing has changed! I've been puzzling over it all day. She's only 5/6 months old, so it can't be a hormonal thing I don't think. We haven't changed any furniture, nothing's changed about me - even when I had nail polish on a few weeks back she didn't react like this (she just tried to bite my nails that day) and there don't seem to be any other significant behavioural changes?
What could be causing this?
edited to add that the only thing that's changed with her is she seems to be molting and has a lot of pinfeathers. I don't know if she's just moody from that or what?
