Yes they become neurotic due to the fact that the routine changed and they cannot figure out why..but like I said Lolita right now has a 99% feathered chest her sore healed up and you can't see her skin anymore.
Also, my wife said a couple of days ago she witnessed Lolita and her boyfriend doing the mating dance. It's a ritual that male and female do before they copulate; so things are looking good and looks like she's bonded with Georgie.
