Dear Faux Paws: We don’t have to be BFFs, but I would rather not be mortal enemies.
I have a green cheek conure, Buddy, that I’ve had since 2006. He started living with me and my parents in my early-20s and got along well with men and women. Over the years, he often lived with just me but at some point began preferring my boyfriends. Well, I’ve been married for four-and-a-half years, and all was great for the first three or so. But in the last year and a half, my bird has definitely seen my husband more as a mate and me as a threat.
Parrots are good at sensing our moods, especially when we are angry or anxious; if you approach him with trepidation, he’s going to reflect that back on you. Make an effort to be calm and happy around Buddy, as if he still loved you as much as he used to. I’m sure that love is still in there somewhere, but life is long and complicated, especially if you’re a parrot.
