Hmmm, I don't find them bossy at all. Mine (and the ones I used to care for) were actually quite amenable to doing what they were asked to do and, when they asked for anything (always food), they simply asked and, as they were given whatever it was they wanted, they stopped asking. BUT my parrots follow such a precise routine that there is very little 'room' for they to ask for anything.
Now, if she follows her request with a strong 'now', that is something that she learned from her humans so I am thinking that either you or your husband use the 'now' when you have to repeat your request so she learned it. They are very smart.
