when i first got sweetypie she, of coruse, didnt want anything to do with me so when she finally hopped on to my shoulder :happy: i wanted her to stay there as long as she would. :D knowing she needed to eat and drink i offered her food and water instead of putting her back in the cage to get it.
so now here we are 2 1/2months later :blush: and she wont eat anywhere but on me:roll: , if i put the food bowl next to me on the couch she gets a hunk of cornbread out and gets in my lap to eat. seed on the other hand i put in the cage and she will go there to eat it but not as often as i think she should, ditto with her water on the outside of the cage
how often should she be eating and drinking at 5 months old, and how often when she is over a year old?
i know, i know, i taught her this :roll: but how do i unteach it and teach the behavior i want? which is, of course, to go get food and water on a regular basis thru out the day.
also how do i know if iv taught her im the head of the flock or if i taught her she is the head of the flock:confused:
