This fella that barks ferociously as soon as the production crew enters…
She barks non stop… What's making you so upset?
Wife guardian: Mimi’s been bullied a bit
So, she keeps on barking like this
She’s constantly under stress. She didn’t bark like this before but, recently…
She seemed to have calmed down but,
this time, looking sad, Mimi stares at somewhere blankly
Where her eyes gazed… there are two parrots!
2 year-old male parrot Lulu
and a 7 months old female parrot, Ddunddun!
But, the two don’t seem to be interested in Mimi at all…
If you look right now, she’s hiding under this table
Listening to the guardian, as soon the the production crew lowers the camera
there’s another parrot fella hiding!
This fella is Lala, our parrot
She’s been pecking Mimi a lot lately
She’d peck her when Mimi’s still or even when she approaches…
This fella is the recent troublemaker in the house
3 year-old female eclectus parrot, Lala!
Turns out she just can’t leave Mimi alone recently…
As Mimi sits down near the table to rest,
Lala comes out stealthily from under the table as if she’s waited
To Lala’s approach Mimi freezes…
and tries to glare at her to make her go away, but
Oh my… Lala doesn’t know how to pull back
She even provokes Mimi, budging her face into her…
To Lala’s continued vexing,
the guardian picks Mimi up
but now Lala even attacks the guardian as well..!
Nowadays, she doesn’t just attack Mimi, but attacks people too
When she pecks us hard, the skin gets torn
What’s causing her to be so upset that… she even takes it out on the sofa.?
They say it’s best to leave her alone when Lala’s mad
Where she headed after shooing away her guardian and Mimi is
the birdcage at the veranda
Thought she’d take a break quietly now, but
Lala attacks Ddunddun who had been resting quietly inside the cage
By now, we can say it’s Angry Bird in reality…
At times, she just goes at it
She’d sit whenever she wants to and attacks out of the blue
and when she does attack, she bites everywhere
Not a single person or pet is vexing her, but
what’s gotten into her that she’s so mad, turning this house into walking on thin ice…
A special measure to soothe her!
They try to soothe her with her favorite snacks…
Lala eats the snacks well off her guardian
Maybe she’s calmed down a bit?
Husband guardian: Lala, hello~
As soon as the guardian talks to her
Hello~ / Hello~
Hi~ / Hi~
Lala answers back!
Maybe she’s finally in a good mood now..!
But… what’s this bad feeling…
Just as expected
she bites her guardian’s foot without hesitation!
As if she’s still mad, she glares at the mister while taking it out on the sofa…
He must’ve been bitten hard
Oh wow, that hurts. Ugh, I got bitten in between the joints
Oh my… he’s bleeding T.T
But, what’s so flustering about Lala is…
She’s wasn’t an aggressive fella like she is now
It turns out Mimi and Lala were besties not long ago
She was friendly and charming that she engrossed the entire family’s love
But the moment she changed completely was…
She changed after Ddunddun came
a month ago after Ddunddun became her family..!
At that time, when the guardian brought Ddunddun home
it’s said Lala reacted sensitively even at the first encounter…
She even attacked Ddunddun out of the blue which threw the family off
But, the problem is… she’s becoming more aggressive by the day
and began to attack Mimi and the family as well
Perhaps Lala became aggressive due to the stress
she got from as she thinks Ddunddun her competitor…
Decided to get help from Professor Cho Sam-Rae, the bird expert!
Cho Sam-Rae, Professor: Parrots are more intelligent than other birds
When a different bird comes and if you give that bird attention
and love, parrots do feel jealous
It’s jealousy that’s causing her to be like this? And even more!
On top of jealousy, as I observed her behaviors
I think it’s the season when female eclectus parrots are sexually sensitive
Humanly speaking, it’s like puberty period
In this kind of a period, the instinct of protecting its breeding place is strong
so, I think it conveyed through attacking people around and behaviors alike
First breeding season for Lala who’s 3 years old
She’s become very sensitive due to hormonal changes
and as her behaviors to protect her breeding place increased,
it’s possible she showed aggressiveness towards her guardians and the dog..!
(In this period) selecting a spouse that can feed her well is very important
But, this eclectus parrot here, perhaps because he’s yet young,
it seems he can’t carry out those functions
It turns out the male bird Lulu’s immaturity
has escalated her aggressiveness even more..!
For parrots, when a male parrot regurgitates food and try to win a female’s love
the female confirms affection by copulating
As Lulu is too young for such communication
in Lala’s perspective who has the strong desire to mate and breed
it must have been frustrating, causing an accumulation of stress!
Not only that, she has a reason why she always goes under the table that’s tight and dark
whenever she goes out to the living room..!
Eclectus parrots like to find a tree-hole like place that’s dark and humid
and I think the place she has found with those specs
is underneath this table
If the space under the table is her selected spot
for breeding then
if something approaches, it’s a target of attack
Whether it’s a foot or a dog passing by
she will come out to attack
As an eclectus parrot that breeds in a dark, tight space
Lala picked the space under the table as her breeding place and
due to her instincts of wanting to protect her breeding place
she ought to have attacked the family and Mimi…
Lala~ Lala~ is that why you went under there?
The family feels apologetic as they scolded her without knowing her perspective of things T.T
As they now know the cause! Start with the solution!
They were recommended a blind date with Andy, 4 years older than Lala
Will… Lala like Andy..?
Everyone watches nervously
Oh! Lala strides toward Andy right away!
She looks at Andy with interested eyes haha
It seems Andy also like Lala
they are both pretty straight forward with each other haha
At times like now when she’s sexually sensitive,
it’s necessary to provide her a cozy space
that will associate her as a natural tree house
What they prepared up next is a space that only Lala can rest in!
They prepared this Lala-exclusive nest so that
she can rest in her nest rather than under the table, free from any interruptions!
Perhaps she figured it’s her exclusive space?
She looks at it carefully
and after looking around carefully
she soon goes into the nest!
Once she recognizes this place is where she can lay eggs and raise her chicks
then, she’ll find stability and
her aggressiveness will decrease
If Lala takes rest and recognizes this place as her nest,
her aggressive behaviors toward the family and dog will disappear naturally as she won’t need to protect the space under the table anymore
Peace within the house has been restored haha
Lala~ from now on, let’s live happily without biting~
Angry Bird Lala who shook the entire house!
As they know the reason and found the resolution,
only happiness awaits them..!
