Hi All,
I've got a bit of an unusual girl - she gets really excited when I play music. She runs around the room or her cage, sticks her nose through the bars, and gets almost hyperactive. I thought it was funny, and it didn't seem to be causing any problems, until recently. Yesterday, she was running around, listening to music, and I had to pick up the phone. As soon as I started talking, she ran up to me, jumped on my shoulder, and bit my ear hard. Then, every time I made a sound, she would grump back at me (that almost grunting sound they make when they're displeased) and she kept trying to run up and bite me.
I picked her up and put her away while I finished my conversation, but she kept running around her cage and got a little snippy with one of her cage mates (I live in an apartment, I couldn't leave the room to talk so I saw the whole interaction). It doesn't seem to be a problem at other times, this is the only time it happened, I talk to my girls all the time. I'm a little worried that she's getting a bit aggressive and pushy with me, and I'm even more worried that she picked a fight with her cage mate.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anybody seen behavior like this before?
Thanks ahead of time!
