Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	Hi Birdgirl :) when you say that Mochi is territorial do you mean in his cage or when he's out of it. as most Parrotlets seem to be a bit territorial about their cages, when we put our hands in the cages we are invading their space as such and we do have to remember that this is their home so maybe that's the reason why. I'm not sure what you mean about "6 in the morning" is this the time he wants to come out or the time you want him to come out, as mine would not be coming out at that time !! :lol: If that's the time he wants to come out and you dont mind fair enough but I would let him out in the evenings as that's more of a convenient time for you. As for the taking his toys away he won't understand why, as birds do not understand the use of punishment or at least punishment as we know it (( there is a file attached to this post about birds and punishment)). Most people have the cages full of toys for their birds as I have as well, they might not play with all of them but they are there for when they want them. It is a good thing once in a while to rearange their cages so its all new to them but I always leave the perch or what ever they sleep on or in in the same place. Mine like simple things to chew on like white paper or kitchen towel (not toilet paper this has chemicals in it) or a slice of a telephone directory. Mine are also quite happy to come out and do as they please they sit on their boing which hangs in the window and preen or chew the boing Attached to this post: punishment.pdf (18.15 KB)
