Help! Zen is the devil!

[LMPego]

I think what happened is a combination of hormones and attention-seeking behavior, but I need advice on how to deal with this before it gets totally out of control...

First a little history.
Zen is almost 4. We just found out she's about 6 months older than we were told, so we made her birthday Valentine's Day (she's closer to January, but New Year's is already Cory's birthday...) When we bought her, she was completely untamed and hand shy. We have worked and worked on building trust and about a year ago she finally stopped biting me and started stepping up on my hand. (She had trusted my boyfriend Scott after about 6 months - he is apparently nicer than I am )
Anyway, she is a compulsive egg layer (about 3 times a year) and we have tried everything to stop it and finally decided just to let her be herself and just don't encourage her. She has been very sweet lately wanting to be with the people and hanging out and giving kisses.
Yesterday she was fine in the morning. I went out to lunch with my friend and some kind of switch flipped in Zen while I was gone. What happened was Scott was working in the library with Cory on his shoulder. Apparently Zen went into the room 4 times to see what they were doing. The last time, she flew away and Scott heard a tapping sound that didn't sound like anything that Zen normally taps on so he went to see and she was up next to the TV on the Ms Pac Man game and when he moved the game she went behind the TV and started presenting herself to him. After the first time, she kept flying up by the TV and trying to chew on the cable and presenting herself and being sexually aggressive. His theory is that when she got his attention the first time, now it's turned into a mating behavior. When I let her out this morning she flew from her cage to directly behind the TV, so she had to be put back into her cage because I couldn't trust her while I was getting ready for work. I don't want her to have to be in her cage, but I will kill her if she ruins the TV. We talked about clipping her, but Cory has been chasing her around and I need for her to be able to fly away to protect herself. We are going to block off that space when we get home but I'm afraid she's still obsessed with the area.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
(Sorry so long...)

My first suggestion is clip her wings. If your other bird is aggressive when she is out at the same time as him, give them separate play times. She will still have some flight ability, mostly gliding, but she will still be able to glide away.

I believe your boyfriend is correct. Problem is that she is going behind the TV in order to get attention. Not good and needs to be stopped. Clipping the wings should help you regain tameness. She has lost some of it because she is flighted. She is now trying to dominate through her behavior. Clip the wings--it will help.

If they can access behind the TV then it needs to be blocked off. I have had to do it for my own sanity (I also have a youngster so my house is fairly bird and kid friendly) between birds and kids.
