Welcome to Pet Talk JJsMom! I have a parakeet who prefers me to my husband probably because I am the one who feeds him and cleans his cage. It does take time for a bird to adjust to a new house and new people.
Popcornbird, do you have any links to any bird websites that may help JJ'sMom? You seem to be our resident bird expert here, maybe you know a link that will be more bird specific to help JJs'Mom.
