Sully is still being ornery but thanks to our Dr. Flock (Dave007 you rock) I no longer feel guilty about locking him up. He is calm as long as I am not near his cage. He still attacks as I'm changing water and food and unfortunately I have to show him a perch/stick to get him to back away from his food/water bowl openings so I can remove them. I hate doing this as he is very afraid of a hand held perch/stick. Someone must have abused him with sticks/perches in a prior home. But I have no choice. All he has to do is see a stick and he immediately backs away from the opening in fear. As I said I have no choice because he hangs at the opening to nail me and I must change his water and food. Cleaning his cage is easier as long as I only remove only the grate or paper tray at a time. Then Sully can't get out and nail me. At least he isn't screaming. I do give him lots of extra treats because this isn't his fault any more than it is mine and I so want him to be happy. If I could find him a girlie bird hooker I would!!!!:laugh: :ohmy: Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Hopefully, this will be over soon and my sweet Sully will be back.
