Are your birds color phobic??

Hans HATES the color red. If you are wearing a red shirt and walk up to him he will most definately try to bite you. I have this red house coat that I love and some mornings I forget I'm wearing it when I go to say hi to him. He reminds me real quick of my transgression when he grabs my wrist (or finger) and bites instead of grabbing his precious walnut half. He's not like this any other time, just when I'm wearing red.



For the last few days he's been a little moody and I couldn't figure out why. Then last night it hit me. . . I put down a table cloth in front of his cage to catch any poop from when they are on the perch outside the cage and guess what color it is? RED of course! I was staring at it last night like "duh! come on Melissa!" For some reason his aversion to the color didn't even cross my mind when I put it down. I covered it up and sure enough, I've got my happy Hans back!



Do you guys have any color phobic birds?
