I knew an African Grey who "mated" with one of his owners and the other owner (his wife) couldn't come near the bird or Bob if the bird was watching without being attacked! Then there's my sister's Amazon, who hates everyone, including my sister, but not her three kids, whom she gets down on the floor to play with--and then attacks my sister if she comes near the kids! --Ruth Miller
