I went the gym earlier leaving foodie on top of the cage with her beloved shallow edged casserole dish with about 1.5 inches of water.  I came back 2hrs later and she was'floating in the water' (actually squatting), looking like a little yellow ducky that had gone mouldy.

 

She's acting weird at the minute, I was quite close to a trip to the vet.  She still likes to sit in her little safe corner and is STILL  massively unstable and nervous after the clip (she must be very close to a moult now).  It might be a girl thing but the behaviour is markedly different and it has me twitched. 

 

On a good note, she allowed me to lift her from within the cage on my finger for the first time in 6mths.  She is tame and outside she is 'cuddly' but she only ever leaves the cage door of her own choice, this was the first exit of my doing.  I don't blame her in fairness....it's 100feet in the air in parrot measurements and she still drops like a stone.

 

oops yes Advice:  When its egg time does the female birds behaviour go haywire?

my female bird at egg time spends lots of time in the bottom of her cage and actively goes hunting out dark wee corners, and does not want cuddled the same either.

 Bertie will go out of her way to find a blanket to squat on and sits there with her wings spread - And yes I've actually moved her expecting to see eggs at times! Sounds like she is just quite hormonal at the moment.
