Andy and Sachmo are in the breeding frenzy, yesturday was Andy's day out.
Well things went into a very aggressive mode and very fast, neither birds would settle down it was a complete frenzy, Rose brought Sachmo downstairs (toweled).
Thank the lord I had Mias cage all cleaned and bleached, Rose ann was very upset.
I waited for things to calm down and brought Sachmo back upstairs and placed her on the tree, just that fast away she flew to andy's cage and the mess began again, I was bit 2 times while trying to get Sachmo off Andy's cage and covered both birds up, but the screaming continued well into the night...
Rose left for work this morning still kinda upset saying if this continues to move Andy into the downstairs aviary.
I have learned not to argue with my mate, took 20 years but I did learn.. this is a breeding issue and things will settle down, I don't see need to move Andy from his safe haven and place him into a new surrounding, Buuuut when the bird mom speaks...well...you know
There's 8 more birds in that room that deserve some peace, I mean there screams hurt the ears and it never stops, all day we listened to the screaming.
I enjoyed it, the wife and the other birds where becoming alittle scared by the frenzy....Woooohoooo the Zons where speaking to each other yesturday.
& now that I am on the subject, last week we had a visitor that I forgot to mention, a police officer was outside standing in our front yard staring at our home, I went out and asked why, he said he got a call about a bird possibly being hurt and or hurt period, so I introduced him to our family, you should of seen the look in his eyes as he entered the bird room... .
What fun here in BrokenWing Aviaries....

Sounds like there's never a dull moment. Hope Sachmo and Andy are feeling better today.

Well, things are okay today....so I am not moving Andy...wheeeew

That's good to hear! I'm so glad I didn't become a large(er) parrot owner by starting off with a male zon!

<sigh> Tell me about it.

Well you may not believe this but it is actually Sachmo that is the very aggressive one, she got ahold of me again last night.
I woke up when Rose came home from work, as soon as she walked into the upstairs bird room,(right accross from our bedroom) Sachmo began screaming, and Andy joined but not as bad, this went on for quite some time.
Then I heard Rose take Sachmo out of the room and things got quiet and I fell back to sleep, I awoke at 830 pm to get ready for work and was told Sachmo was back downstairs in that bird room, Sooooo I went down and brought my little girl back upstairs and had some words with her before placing her on the tree, away she flew to Andy's cage and the frenzy began again, I asked her to step up and she nailed me...good to...so I toweled her and back downstairs she went.
Now here's the kicker....Rose wants to move Andy downstairs due to the fact that he doesn't step up (former breeder) and Sachmo does, otherwise she can handle one but not the other so the other has to go.....
Basically, the downstairs bird room is where my rescues are, all are orphans and or badly abused so I was called upon birds, also this is where I do most of my medical procedures, Soooooo Rose gets all excited when meeting Andy, learns his history as a breeder, buys him for $400.00, then buys him a $1.000.00 dollar cage, provides the best toys and theraputic perches as Andy is crippled, then decides he has to be moved downstairs because she can't handle him....
Boy is Andy getting the short end of the stick concerning this issue...
As I said above, I have learned not to argue, this just makes things worse, besides, Andy and I are friends, "I hate his towel as much as he does", Soooo this weekend I will move my big boy downstairs, and he will be free more than he will be caged, I already know how I am going to set things up for him.
I will do everything I can to make him happy.

I know you see to his every need and then some Arty. Let's hope the location change is a blessing in disguise as Andy will get more time out of his cage. It's probably better for both of them to be out of view of each other for a while anyway to mentally give the hormones a chance to rest also.

You could make a movie Arty...a good comedy.

Never a dull moment indeed! I hope Andy's move goes well.

And wow, I'm impressed that husbands CAN actually learn from the wives

Suppose to be sleeping, Sachmo is back downstairs...
This issue is Hormonal-breeding type, I am praying it will end soon, I really don't want to upset either bird by relocating them within the house.
There calls to one another are extremely loud..
I am not sleeping very well...
As the thread says...What a Mess....
