Hello, I am new member here, so I'm hoping you all can help a girl out.
My husband had two macaws, a B&G and a Hahn's. We gave the Hahn's to his parents 1.5 years ago and still have the B&G. We occassionally pet-sit when they go out of town (we bring the bird over to our house) and the B&G always becomes very upset with my husband while the other bird is here. It becomes difficult for him to give the B&G attention because she is so upset, so he just gives all his attention to the other bird. I feel like this just makes the situation worse, and that he should either try his best to give them both attention or at least not give so much attention to the Hahn's. He, however, says that why should both birds suffer just because the one is upset.
Does anyone have any thoughts or advice for this situation? Much appreciated!
