aggression

I have a lovely sun concure who was incredibly affectionate for over 6 years, but after going to college and keeping her back home, she stayed pretty happy still until about 6 months ago. We ended up getting another sun concure to give her a companion and she seemed good for awhile. Fast forward...

This is gonna be really to-the-point. My Cockatiel, Peaches, is really aggressive while she's in her cage. I've tried many taming methods but none of them seem to work. If I can manage to get her to step on a perch and out of the cage, she acts perfectly fine. A bit nippy, but still willing to...

Hello! I've recently gotten two new cockatiels about two weeks ago, Rocky and Yuzu. As I've tried to interact with Rocky, however, I've noticed that he's super aggressive. He doesn't run away, I think he might be territorial? But I've tried leaving my hand in the cage for him to bite to show...

My 10 month old conure, Manny, recently started attacking a few people - people who he knows and has been gentle with. He’s been nippy with me and other people but it’s just nippy baby stuff which hurts, yeah, but he never showed aggressive body behavior when doing it. Yesterday he attacked my...

Hello, we have an Ekkie, and she is deeply loved here, but she is getting pretty aggressive with our son. She climbs over any barrier we put in to separate her from our son (15 months). He absolutely loves her, and keeps his distance most of the time. She has bitten him a few times now when we...

Hello, I am new to these forms and am hoping that you all can help me with my recent rescue. I am a African Grey owner and have had a Grey for the past twelve years. Both my current Grey and my previous Grey, who passed away, were purchased as a baby from breeders. Three days ago I rescued a...

Hello! my 13 year old male cockatiel has started attacking a toy recently. He will run at it from across the perch and open his wings and flair his tail and then bite it. He has been acting more aggressive lately and even biting me which he never does. Do I remove the toy like I think I should...

I just got back from a two week vacation, during which I left my GCC Finn with a sitter. He’s super aggressive to me now that I’ve picked him up. Every time I try to touch him he bites me hard enough to draw blood. I know that it will go away in a little bit and I just have to wait for him to...

Hello dear all, I am new here and would really like opinion on experienced owners of caiques. (short version) New female (2 years old) introduced to 1.5 year old male. 3 hours of cage to cage contact, no aggression just sweet sounds and curiosity. The moment they are out male is attacking...

Hey guys! So I need a bit of guidance. I recently got another conure (already went through the quarantine period). Chico is set up in my room next to my other conure, Kodak. The problem is that they absolutely hate eachother. Both have bitten me to a point where I bleed. Any tips on what...

Hello. I got 2 female lovebirds that are sisters, though I'm not sure they are confirmed female but the person I got them from said the shop had tested them, Idk really. Anyway, sometimes they fight and bicker. And I wanna know if its a danger. Lily sometimes starts it with Filia and will play...

Hi there. New here. My conure (cherry headed), Spargel, is 13 years old. I adopted him years ago when he was young, but due to having a medically complex child a few years in, who needed things like intermittent hospitalizations and such, Spargel spent some years in a different home where he...

Hello! I have been a lurker here for several years (without an account), but have been too shy to post here until today since I'm at a loss for what could be causing sudden aggression in my cockatiels. To give you some background before I begin: Piu is a normal grey male cockatiel possibly...

Hello, A little about me, I'm a mom, work part time, two kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and now a Amazon parrot owner/pet parent. It all started 5 1/2 years ago when my daughter adopted a Cockatiel (Lutino). About 6 mo ago my husband adopted a recue Conure (Jenday/Sun mix) know for his/her grumpiness...

I posted this in another avian forum and I would like to share this here to get as many ressources possible! Tookie hatched in july 2016, i have had her since she was 4 months old. I knew what I was getting into in terms of gcc being bitey and nippy. With persistance we overcame the...

Hi, I'm having some difficulties with my RB2 Val. I can't understand these new behaviors or where their coming from. Well- it's more where it's coming from. Val showed signs he was in love with me ( trying to mate, regurgitate , chasing off others and getting aggressive at other people +...

Hi guys... I have not posted in a while, (a good thing I believe!), but unfortunately, I am having to post tonight. So last August we brought Oliver home, a tiny weeny baby Timneh grey, the sweetest little thing you have ever seen. Now we have gone through some phases no doubt, from begging...

So about two months ago, I got a baby cinnamon conure. His name is Jasper, and he's been developing good. He already knows a few words and he can mimic a kissing sound. He drinks a lot of water (not to the point where it's a problem, though) and he eats a LOT! I'm just worried about his...

My female green cheek conure is generally very well-behaved, except in some very few situations. I'm a student, so I spend a lot of time writing either by hand or with a keyboard, and I have her out with me every second possible. The problem is that she gets very aggressive around pencils...
