She wakes me up at dawn by pulling the blinds up at dawn and by clawing at my Bipap machine which is expensive and sensitive. Then the "love" scratches and nips begin. She doesn't want food or water or games or cuddles: she just wants me UP. Anyone have a similar situation?

I have parakeets and the oldest female will chirp loudly over and over before the light of dawn. If I tell her to be quiet & it’s cold outside & I’ll put her in the sunroom when it warms up she will settle down for awhile.
@Cavedweller I overslept one day cause my alarm didn’t go off and she made sure to wake me up so I didn’t do it again. When I wake up and the boy is still sleeping another parakeet asks about the boy, he calls him “Are you OK?” Because he’s heard the boy say that. So when he doesn’t get up as soon as I do the bird starts telling me.
@cherokeepatti What clever little critters! I had an aunt with a bird when I was growing up. It would yell "stop looking at my tits!" and "get out of my purse!!".
@Cavedweller One day I came home from shopping all afternoon, put my key in the front door and heard one of the parakeets say “Get in there”...they knew I was home. Sometimes they say “Where you been?” when I come back home.
@cherokeepatti My aunt's cocky was fond of dancing. It would bob it's head and shimmy, especially to the Beatles. But if you asked him to dance he'd tell you to get fucked. He had a foul mouth. Or beak.
