Hannah_Rae Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Keep trying with the treats. Bonding is a process. Stay calm, and show her that you are interested without being over bearing. If you keep trying it will happen. -Hannah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Amy has chosen your Dad for her favorite person and there is not much you can do about that, just keep talking to her and giving her treats, do not force yourself on her, go easy and slow. She may never come to fully allow you to handle her like your dad does but it does not mean you cannot have a good relationship with her. Like Hannah said, bonding is a slow process, give it plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 This might be worth a try. When we got Klaus, he was not supposed to be my bird (at all!). So, while I checked him out and maybe showed mild interest the first couple of days, I pretty much ignored him. Well, he must have seen that as a challenge, because he fell head over heels for me. (And, of course, I for him.) So, it might sound crazy, but maybe you could try the old reverse psychology. Act like you couldn't possibly care less about her. She might view this as a challenge and make winning you over a priority. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
