The day I went to pick up Taco and bring him home, one of the things his old owners told me, that really stuck with me, was that he so hated them that he would reach through the bars as far as he could with his feet to grab at them and try to bite them.
So when I brought him home and his honeymoon-state self was sweet and gentle as pie, I thought to myself, "wow, they really must have been nasty to him for him to want to bite them that badly".

No.

He was just being a hormonal dickbag.

And now I'm the poor fool he's grabbing at.

Emery is officially in hormone mode. She has been screaming a lot lately and is extra clingy. She also keeps trying to tuck herself under my sweater. Oh, and did I mention she bites? She's very nippy and less patient with me than usual. She likes to tell me she's upset with a bite, when she normally never bites. Is hormone season over yet?

I think my little girl is getting some spring fever. Gigi is getting even more protective of her cage and play gym.
1 1/2 ounces of terror. Ooh, I'm scared. No, I really am.

 

[AutumnRain]

She's still screaming hours later. Just trying to hang in there until her bedtime. I tried everything from toys to giving her a bath, a healthy dinner, lots of attention, treats, and she still won't stop for more than a few minutes and goes right back to screaming.

Kamara's flirting with me.

Kamara's flirting with me.

I think I´d rather have flirting over an egg and an aggressive hen

Honestly that's the sort of behaviour I'm dreading. Thus far this spring, Kamara has been my only mature bird who isn't being a hormonal beast, and her sudden interest in me is making me anxious about her getting frustrated with me for being an unsuitable "mate" and becoming aggressive like my boys. She's also the only adult female I've ever had so the potential for eggs is also very worrying.

Dora has been bowing and talking to me and I've been replying. Little did I know he was courting. He tried to "get it on" with my hands today.
I've encouraged it so much to the point of him courting me every time I walk by and talk to him. Scratching his head does turn him off and get him to sleep, but, I don't want him to associate breeding with scratches.

My wife is really hormonal at the moment. She yells at me every chance she gets and... oh sorry, you mean fids? Nah Pilo is rarely a prob!

I wonder what she does if she see those words?

I hope you will survive this, if not, it was nice knowing you.

I used to be a lot of fun but the hormones made me bat scthit crazy.

 

[TikiMyn]

Left my stuff for one minute, I think I can say hormones are Raging over here

That, and the fact that I keep losing them because they have found a way from the back into my closet It has a kind of open back with a void, they love that spot

 

[Mockinbirdiva]

Seriously considering medical intervention for my psychopath mac. His hormones are only getting more intense and his aggression more violent, and I can't interact with him at all anymore. He wants me dead, he wants Réy dead, he wants every inanimate object he comes in contact with dead, and he wants himself dead. He has ZERO CHILL and eventually there will be bloodshed.

Been there, done that with Henry. Ugly, nasty, dangerous. Chilled pretty much for the last two years and I'm seeing subtle hints of distance and more lean to threats. He went from sitting on his perch as I walked over to his cage to open the door this morning to climbing up on the bars in full display with amazon googly kill ya eyes. I did NOT open his door. I always do but not today. I let him chill all day in his cage. He was much calmer in the late afternoon.

 

[Jobot]

Here hormones are in full swing. Flynn tore out all his feathers again, keeps trying to feed me when he sits on my shoulder for more than a few minutes, and he's ragingly jealous of my chapstick. He bit me on the lip today, he was so mad I was using it. This bird becomes a hormonal hellbeast at the slightest provocation.

But surely I can't be the only person whose bird is like this multiple times a year, right?

 

[Lightning57]

All this talk about hormonal behavior is making me rethink if I really want to get another bird after all these years since the last one.

Taco seems to be mellowing out a bit. Cross your fingers!
