Deleted User	Hello my name is Susan and I am also a new member. I have a large family 9 children 6 human, and dog, cat, and a bird (sonny) and American Yellow parrolet. Sonny is 20 months old and my first parrolet. This my question, when we have a screened in back porch and he comes out to play a few hours each evening. Just this spring he started doing this very special dance for me and will wiggle his tail every now and then when he is on me. This I viewed as a marriage of sorts. He always allows the children to pet him but not for long, now when he is with me if one of the kids come outside he will fluff his neck and chest and try to peck them, the whole time he is mumbling in his deepest voice, never yelling, but still, is he trying to protect me ? He doesn't try to fly and bite just if they come to close, and sometimes he just looks on indifferent, whats up with this? :(

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	hi and welcome :). do you take sonny out of his cage or does he come out by himself ? if you remove him from his cage try letting someone else do this, as hes just started doing this i would try that, in fact everything you do eg feed clean cage etc, get another member of your family to do this instead. maybe you could all take turns doing the parrotlet daily chores, this might well stop this behaviour. kev

Deleted User	thanks for such a quick response, yeah Kev he see's that door open and he is out in seconds, no one else can get him out of the cage by hand without being bitten. Everyone helps clean I have two cages so we switch around. My girls also help with the feeding they love to give him his 'SALAD' then he is a rainbow parrolet, green face, red face, orange face, lol the three faces of sonny, ROFL
