Lately (the past month) she pecks so much she pecks right through the wood - doesnt matter if we use twigs or dowling - she pecks and pecks until she works her way through it completely. What in the world is she telling us? She is very funny - she dances for us and is learning to sing on command vs her chatting. Could her pecking mean she is bored? :rofl: Thanks, Kim Link to comment

Twigs are usually uncomfortable as they are too thin. Link to comment
