Yup, ignore your hubby and keep her locked up except when you can supervise her carefully.

Really, that's all you can do or she can get into something toxic and get really sick.

Just chewing cabinetry could be toxic due to the stains and finishes. Then there is the unidentified dye in all those magazines.

They will drive you nuts when in hormone mode.

Try to not let her get into any dark places. They seem like good dark nestboxes to hormonal birds.

Give her some chunks of wood. Clean untreated pine from a lumber yard will keep her busy inside the cage and is nontoxic. You can cut a 1 x 2 board into little 1 or 2 inch pieces and toss them in the floor of her cage. Also ball up half sheets of black and white newspaper. I buy packages of 16 pine door shims at the lumber yard for a dollar. She would love those. They are soft enough for small birds to chew up.

Good luck working her thru this.
