My Eclectus absolutely LOVES my partner but hisses and lunges at me, and I'm the one who feeds and cleans! Anyone else deal with this? How did you build a relationship with a one-person bird?

Your bird is in good hands. The fact that you're researching this shows how much you care.

This is one of those topics where I think there genuinely is no right answer. Both sides have valid points.

My Pionus did this too! Turned out it was because of the cage being in a high-traffic or drafty location. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

My Basil went through a phase like this around 18 months. I was terrified but it passed. Birds are weird sometimes lol.
