He really isn't leaving me any choice, and I think it's going to be for his own good.
Some of you might know or remember Marty (the man hating Amazon):
He's still big on the man hating. It has gotten to the point of dive bombing Kevin anytime he can. It used to be occasional, but as long as Kevin kept his distance we could manage it. Not anymore.
He has been here almost a year now and instead of being a little better, he is much worse
Kevin gives him a peanut EVERY DAY. He stops by the cage and talks to him, hands over Marty's favorite food (peanut) and moves on. He's been doing this the better part of the year. We were hoping this would soften Marty to the point of NOT wanting to rip his face off, but apparently we were wrong.
So it's pretty much come down to taking Marty's dive bomb capabilities away. If we don't, he will not be permitted out of the cage while Kevin is home.........which is a HUGE chunk of time. I don't know if any of you have ever been bitten by a large bird, but it HURTS (or so Kevin tells me )
