No comments or advice -- greys are just so sensitive to the tiniest change in routine. Sorry. Anything I can think of that you might change to make things better is ALSO another change in routine. Maybe Pookie will eventually adjust to more one-on-one time and attention while you're home. (fingers crossed for good luck)

I haven't but I'm not a good example. I've been retired for a few years now, so Timber has adjusted to my frequent presence. I'll be watching what others say with interest. I do know that any schedule changes tend to upset Timber's routine, so it is unsurprising to me that Pookie is confused by your constant presence.

Hi everybody, I was really thinking about how this Covid pandemic is gonna affect our lives and our birds' lives. Personally I'm respecting the lockdown rules in France and have been staying at home since 2 weeks, only going out once a week to buy the necessities. It's starting to be very difficult, especially not knowing when will this end. Personally I'm not afraid of getting the virus, I have good immunity level and will most probably get sick for a few days and get over it. What scares me and keeps me in is the idea that I migh get the virus and spread it to others unintentionally, thus causing someone's suffering or even death. This is something that I can't bare on my conscience... 2 weeks into the lockdown and I'm not sure how to bare this longer. Even Pookie my grey has started to get stressed. She's not used to us staying at home all the time and it's exciting and stressing her at the same time. I guess she's not getting her siesta as usual as we're around the house all day. Or probably she can feel our stress and our boredom and is only reciprocating. Not sure how to face this... Have you guys noticed any change of behavior in your greys as a result of the lockdown? Looking forward to your comments

First first I hope you get well soon, and glad your wife got better. I loved the video you shared ❤️
