Frustrated!
Ive been having alot of troubles with my internet lately and had a technician around today. The tech was here quite a while and Jibby would not stop screeching! I moved Jibby into another room and ignored him but that made him even worse! Jibs not normally like this when there is new people in the house. Hes never carried on screeching like this ever. We all know how loud they can be but this was outrageous!
I realised that he might not have liked what the tech was wearing. It was a bright orange uniform!
Of course as soon as the tech left, Jibby was sitting on his swing happy as can be, grinding his beak happily! The poor tech prolly thought what an un disciplined pet! But Jibby has been an angel lately untill today.
Anyone elses fids ever had a complete hatred like this?

Yep .. we have a birdroom where all the birds stay and we bring them out at play times. If a new person walks into that room all hell breaks loose., until the intruder leaves. If they are out with us in the main living area's and a visitor comes .. not a problem. Seems like its a territorial thing.
Once they know a person though, a person that has visited regularly, they seem to be fine even in the birdroom with them.

Magellan is a great watch dog. Two inspectors came to check the house yesterday; she screeched when they walked in and I quieted her down. Then they were walking around outside and everytime they got in her line of sight she started yelling. Of course, I laughed and once I explained to them that she was warning the rest of the flock that there were strangers around, they started laughing too. Since I was in the room the tiels did not start in too, but if I am out of sight too, the six of them will start to "pass the word" as well. Very funny

Magellan actually gets more vocal with men than women & I kept giggling the other day because a fairly..... what is the PC term.... slight? young man came to do some repairs and Gelly acted like he was a woman. I'm sure he thought I was nuts (of course once they see nine bird cages in the living room, they pretty much decide that), since I was laughing for no apparent reason.

I just experienced the loud screeching for the first time today. My Paco is very quiet all the time. My sister came over to visit today and her son (14 y/o) approached the cage and Paco just screeched and screeched and screeched. I had never heard him so loud. I never even new he could be so loud. My sister kept say "what are you doing to him". He didn't do anything but walk up the cage. Now I know I have a "Watch Bird" too.

I have a sun conure that goes mad whenever anyone comes into the house besides my fiance or myself, its hilarious to watch, he literally puffs up, goes into attack mode, screeches and rushes off the cage to bite! My IRN however is as friendly as anything to EVERYONE, strangers included, he will climb on anyone and launch off into speech Saying 'hello' 'what you doing?' its almost like he knows what to say at the appropriate times lol
