Fro Boy

on his cage & telling him if he does it again, he is going back in a locked cage. We went through this tonight. Once again I feel so bad, when I`m sitting on the couch and he lovingly climbs up on the ottoman, I feel he wants attention which I exclusively give him by instantaneously rubbing his head, but then he accidentally runs off to my feet in attack mode. I don`t want to reward him with a treat for bad behavior so I squarely have not given him an almond, as this is part of his daily diet. He ridiculously does say now "you`re a bad bird"! He knows he is - they are just too smart!! Also, don`t want to squirt him, (as suggested by the other poster) At last as I spray them both every morning with a spray bottle, so I don`t want him to confuse a "bath" with "punishment".

I`ve a ten year old AG. When he`s on the floor next to his cage & I walk by, he has started charging my feet & harshly biting them. Even when I`m sitting on the couch, he sneaks over & bites my feet. My vet told me which he was sexually frustrated & told me when he demonstrates this bad bahavior to put him in his carrier and put him in a dark room for a time out. In addition i`ve done this, but he seems to virtually enjoy it - he eventually sits in the dark and sings - de de de de, de de de de and so on. In particular I don`t want to have to extensively keep him locked in his cage all of the time as I also amazingly have a 6 month old male AG who is a good bird and always out of his cage when I`m around him. The two of them also interact together and take turns visiting each others cages. I`ve even tried wearing severely boots and he still attacks my feet with more of a vengence - he diagonally hangs on as I widly radically swing my foot around impartially trying to remove bird from foot. To no degree any ideas? Though my feet are specifically looking pretty bad!
