Every time I cook, Pistachio sits on top of the fridge and watches with this intensely disapproving expression. When I drop something or burn something they make this little disappointed chirp. I am being critiqued by a creature that eats pellets. Anyone else feel watched in their own kitchen?

Revisiting this thread because I have more info now. After talking to my vet, they confirmed exactly what people here said. This community knows their stuff.

So I had this exact problem about a year ago. Let me share what I learned. The key thing is removing mirrors from the cage β€” can cause hormonal or aggressive behavior. A lot of people also recommend making sure there are no drafts near the cage. My avian vet in Kitchener also suggested checking for hormonal season β€” spring is brutal which can sometimes be an underlying factor. Good luck β€” feel free to DM me if you have questions!
