I told Mitzi off yesterday for emptying food out of the bowl with her foot. She knows when she is being told off and backchats me. I got her out and put her on her stand and she made a point of sitting on it with her back to me.

That is really funny. Does Monty ever go on stands? Or can he not do that because of his feet?
Have they been getting along okay recently?

He can go on a stand but he can't step up on my hand so I have to pick him up around his body and place him on the stand. He isn't very confident on a stand, he prefers his favourite perch in the cage.
Funnily enough, I put him on a stand yesterday because Mitzi was being mean to him. Mitzi stayed in the cage. When it was time to put him back I had left the cage door closed but unbolted. I said: "Open the door" and Mitzi pushed it open but I then had to avoid her biting either Monty or me as she was cross with both of us.

That's a funny visual!! They can be irritable! Maui is usually very sweet with me and I'm never scared of her biting me, except when I'm hanging/adjusting/removing toys from her cage. I still don't get why she does this when I mess with her toys, but I have to keep my hands away from her for around 5-10 minutes or she'll snap at me.
Does Monty usually hang out in the cage then?

Beaker gets real possessive about anything inside his cage.
I gave up trying to remove or attach a toy if he is in it.
I don't let it get to the point of confrontation, I give him his space.

If I put my hand in the cage while Chy is in it, she will grab my fingers and start making love to my hand. I have to stop her as I don’t want her laying eggs.

Because Monty has problems with his wings and his feet he blunders about if he is out, jumping and crashing into things so he tends to spend most of the time in the cage.
He has a favourite perch and it is one of those sort where each one is unique so I haven't ever been able to get one that is just like it.
