I and my pet parakeet became closely bonded after my husband died. He would come out of his cage fly around and around me, eat out of my hand, and involve himself in everything I did. I went away for a short break, leaving him in Kennels I thought he seemed ok when I came back, but when I went for a second very short break I came back to a very distressed parakeet. The Kennel maids did their best for him, but as soon as he saw me he danced up and down shouting”going home, going home, coming out” over and over again. I got him home and let him fly around as much as he wanted, but every little noise unsettled him, and even my neighbour who had never heard him behave like this before said he shouted and screamed when I had to shop. Finally one day he did what he had never done before and attacked me leaving my hands bitten and scratched! What could I do? I loved him and knew this dear little chap was not well. So I called the Vet. He said it sounded like depression, compounded by his testosterone due to the mating season, perhaps missing my husband too as he had recently died, and then my prolonged absences would leave him fearful that I too had abandoned him, so every noise would frighten him! The Vet recommended your spray and alongside lots of TLC and treats the spray seems to have calmed him down, and he is my dear sweet Charlie again! Eileen
