She tried chewing the cage bars again and I did attach the wooden pegs there along with a few barks. She hasn't been chewing the cage bars since past 2 days. A bit non aggressive, but today she pulled Breezie's wing feathers when he was eating seeds from my hand. She seems to be a bit jealous or left out, any time she sees Breezie eating something from my hand..though her turn is over.. at times, she would just politely wait and give me those eye looks to signal..if I don't move my hand towards her for sometime, she would fly towards breezie to shoo him off. Today, I saw her coming towards my hand but before I could prevent it, she started pulling his wing feathers when he was busy eating! Is she trying to be Territorial over my hand too or it's just about being left out for the food?
Other than that, she is busy playing with the coconut shell, bamboo balls and trying to throw down the food bowl..and sleeping, singing, beak locking with Breezie.. Most of the times, they are very friendly towards each other and share food from the bowl or my hand. The tail and wing nipping has happened only once last year.. Just wondering, if she needs to be separated from Breezie.. If I wasn't there both the times, how much would she hurt him?! If I separate them, both of them will just scream at me & try to get back together.. Breezie can't stay away from her too even if she nips his feathers..

It sounds like typical henny business to me, nothing too out of the ordinary. I'm sure Breezie will scream blue murder if she tries anything too severe. Pulling feathers and nipping feet are all fairly normal.

She wasn't chewing anything, until today again at other parts of the cage.. I ended up doing the same thing at all parts.. attached a small bamboo craft stick for her to chew at. Most of the times she is distracted by the bamboo ball.. she keeps throwing it down and searches for seeds there. She's trying to throw the food bowls too 🤦♀️ those ones have few new millet seeds for them to try at their own will.. she hasn't been able to turn it yet.
Today, I switched the entirely round wooden perches with some natural ones I ordered for them. Surprisingly, they both took it well and jumped on all the perches. I guess they are fed up of being scared of changes or they adapt to the natural ones easily... The coconut shell toys were the ones they were scared of for a while.. rest of the things they are taking pretty well.
