Thanks for the replies on here, Just thought I should give you an update on Indy. She is doing a lot better but still quite aggressive. She likes to dart at me whenever I am at the cage but, she does step up and come out now as opposed to coming out by her self. She knows the command no biting but I...

Thanks so much for your encouragement Ellie, I really appreciate it. I am trying not to give up hope but it almost seems impossible, actually it seems like it is getting worse. I shall look up those dvds and website you have listed. This may have to be the next step. I am in NSW. Thanks again for yo...

Well, I have had some great advice from people on here regarding my bird Indy. It has been a few months now and I have tried all your suggestions but this bird is still mean. The Bluffing period should have been and gone but she still bites and launches at me whenever I am anywhere near her cage. Ey...

Hi there, Your story gives me hope with my Indy, I know I have spoken to you before about my problems with her and I have tried a few things you suggested but I have not yet been successful in stopping her biting and drawing blood, similar to you describe. Some how I think I must be doing something ...

Are you sure your grey bird is a male?? It could be a female and going through the bluffing period. Apparently females are more likely to go through this. The noise certainly may have stressed it but it also could be co incidental that it is going through bluffing. I am certainly no expert, as many ...

Hi there! You are right, it is a great site and full of helpful info. I am going through the bluffing stage myself and finding it very difficult!!!! How did you manage to get yours through it? Mine has been going through it for months now....I think she is always going to have attitude! :oops: Enjoy...

It's hard work and it takes patience...that's for sure. Are they hand raised or aviary birds? Mine is hand raised but she is going through the bluffing stage and is quite viscious!! I understand what you are going through. Maybe look through the forum for some training tips...it is very helpful here...

:lol: Thanks.....I do think the birds, and my gorgeous dog are a lot easier....hahahaha! We have a had some sucess!! My 10yr old and Indy seem to be getting a long fine, must be because they both have attitude. She seems to be quite happy to sit on his arm and only really seems to beak him as oppose...

Thank you, Sounds like some great ideas I can try, I haven't tried popcorn but will give it a go. She really can be so nasty, I was just wondering if it is always going to be like this. She is only pleasant when there is food on offer and as soon as she has finished that she lashes out at me again. ...

Yes, thankyou, the crushed peanuts is what I had in mind...will have to put sprinkles on the kids icecream! Hahaha!!

Hi, Yes, we are going through it now as I type also and my Indy....also has the kids scared. My youngest wont go near her, which is why I got him a nice gentle cockatiel to get used too. I haven't had any trouble with her but my IRN is 9mths old and has been in this bluffing stage for what seems lik...

Thanks so much, yes got your other reply, and really appreciate it. I will try the food technique first and see how that goes. She really likes peanuts and almonds so that might work! I really want to get her past this...I have tried so hard. Sorry to post twice...wasn't sure where I should go first...

Thank you so much for your reply!! I really appreciate it and all your tips sound great. I will try them one at a time and see what happens. where can I get a clicker from?? I haven't really noticed a time when she wants me to interact with her. I let her come out of the cage on her own, she is poss...

Hi All!! I am new and from Sydney Australia. I have a female IRN named Indy and am finding her very difficult. I need HELP! She is around 9mths old and seems to be going through a never ending bluffing period. I am at my wits end. I think she hates me!! I did post a Help notice on another section of...

She is handraised and I have had her since a baby but now she is about 9 mths old and I am still dealing with the bluffing problem. I have looked up all info I can find to try to help her like me.
