She came back later on and was all sweet natured again...I dont leave the parrot out unless im there...I also have a cat...so that wouldnt be pretty...LOL... As for Punkin...I bought her in a petstore...im sure she was from a puppy mill... I wasnt even shopping for a dog..I was just looking and fell in love with her...
so Im not sure of her genes...My Punkin almost sounds like Morkie's Toby... very similar...except tonight was the first time that I know of that she went
for one of my other pets... Thank you for the advice...tomorrow I think im going to call the vet and ask him about someone to work with Punkin... I am also of thinking of starting to take her to the "doggy" park over here so she can socialize a little bit more...

Thank you!

Those plans sound like a good idea. I hope a trainer is able to help you. sometimes these little guys have had to learn to fight to survive, and it is hard to get them to realize that they no longer need to do that. You have to let them know that you are in charge of everything and you will take care of things.

Making them work for their food and eating in front of them, then feeding them afterwards, is one way to let them know that you are the leader of the pack.

Good luck to all of you who have babies with aggression issues.
