Petal is a beautiful bird, and sleek. She's also a bit mean. She likes plenty of space around her in the pool, and will happily peck a neighbour to shift them. She also pecks the others outside the pool. I've seen her give a hard push with her beak to another female walking by the pool, who was thrown hard into the water.
I had to go in and put her on the naughty stool (my lap), yesterday, until she'd calmed down. I think being picked up is quite an affront to her dignity.

There'll be no messing with her when she's grown up.
