I inherited one that didn't like women bites at me every time I walk past. Started out giving it two peanuts one for claws one for beak took it a while to let go to bite me. Gave me enough time to fill dishes. Some said it was because it missed the boy it belonged to. After a while got to the point it would climb on a dowel to come out of cage so I could clean. You have to just keep trying and be watchful you can wear them down. Sorry for the lose of DH put an ad in paper and sell the one you don't want it will give you a little break on the funds front. good luck
