Mitzi has a musical toy hanging on the bars in her cage. (She has several). She can operate the different buttons to play it. Before I covered the cage last night I had switched it off. Today she was banging it on the bars wondering why it wasn't working. She is still cross with me for taking Monty off her and when I put my hand in to switch the toy on she was lunging at me. (She doesn't actually bite me, it is all for show) I told her I was only trying to help. In the end I had to pull it along the bars a bit so that I could switch it on. Then she started playing it again.

Wow, she's quite irritable!! She seems to blame you for all her problems If she were nicer to Monty, then she'd still be able to have access to him to boss him around.

It sounds like she is going through a mid-life crisis, becoming a crabby old lady.

I wonder if she thinks that if she carries on being cross with me I will relent and put Monty back in with her. Either that or she just hasn't made the connection between her behaviour towards Monty and him being taken away from her. Monty is definitely happier on his own.

Errol always said that it is like fetal alcohol syndrome. They don't associate the "punishment" with the crime. Mitzi hasn't connected her behaviour to Monty being separated from her.
