Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was hoping it was a phase that will pass. I love her dearly.

I have had my grey for 23years. I fed her shortly after she was born. She has been somuch fun. My bird laid egg about a month and half ago. She has done this periodically for several years. I moved about approximately three months ago. I ordered a new cage and she seemed to settle in well. After laying the egg, we took it out. She had some new toys and loved to chew them up. One of the toys had little wooden balls that fell to the bottom of the cage. She started sitting on them. I let her do this a few days, but read some things and decided to take them out. Since then, she had ground up her toys and put them in a bowl. She has buried her head in the bowl for several weeks. She is very guarded and wont stray far from the bowl. She has become a little aggressive and wont let me pet like she always loved. I welcome any feedback or suggestions. Should I remove the fruit bowl for the time being. She gets a combination of sunlight through a window and full spectrum light for 12 hours. Please help. Thank you and I happy to be a member. I have added a pic of her with her head in the bowl.
