Courtney if she is anything like Shrekie you are a lucky person ;D Shrekie is lovely too and she is a girl, she has never bitten me and just loves to sit on my shoulder even still while she is in her aviary.
I will also add that I have owned another female alex named Rani and she was a nasty piece of goods ......... always was even as a baby. I got her at 6 weeks of age and finished handraising her but she always bit........right up to when I rehomed her at around 10 or 12 months of age (can't remember exactly how old she was now).
