I have an 09 het pied female. My other 10 bp's are very friendly, very easily handled. This little girls is down right mean. If I am anywere within 3 foot of the cage she will strike. If I set her down on the bed she will position herself towards me and strike at any movement. At first I could get her out of the cage with a hook and then she was OK to be handled. I assumed with regular handling she would be ok. I was wrong. Does anyone know what I can do to stop being bit? I can keep handling to a minimum but I do have to handle regularly to perform maintenance. I am seriously considering finding another het pied female with the temerament to match my other bp's but I would rather not have to. Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to calm this girl down?

Thanks,
