I’m watching my friends Quacker for the summer. She’s a very friendly bird around Mike, and was fine around me when he was near. But now that she has been relocated to my place she’s becoming impossible. I can’t reach into her cage to change her food or water. When I do, she charges at my fingers. I’ve already been bittin a couple of times. she has clamp coop cups so I have to reach in her cage to feed her. She’s smart and figures out how to undo her toys from the cage, so they just fall to floor. When I try to pick them up and replace them, once again my hands are her target. I’ve tried letting her out ontop of her cage to distract her so I can get her food/water/toys. I’ve had little success. She starts flying around the room, running into stuff (he doesn’t clip her wings) Then I have trouble getting her back into her cage, or she sees what I’m doing and comes back in. My friend is doing an internship in a remote area with no service so contact is not possible. any suggestions?
