    Hormonal and VERY BITEY GCC!

    Hi everyone! My GCC is about 1 and a half years old, and as of 3 or 4 weeks ago he started getting... frisky. Having researched GCC mating behaviors, it has come to my attention that he is absolutely decided that my brother is his mate. Which is A: sorta gross and B: super inconvenient because...

    Aggressive Adopted Quaker

    I adopted Eddie about a year and a half ago and I don't know his background. Any time I get too close to him, he starts hissing and trying to bite me. He always seems really comfortable around me, but when I try to handle him, he starts going a little crazy. Usually, Eddie and I just sit...

    Conure chick refusing food and vocalizing

    Hi, I have a GCC chick, 4.5 weeks old. He is starting to take less at each feeding (fed 4X/day). He has a strong feeding response initially (bobbing), mouths occasionally (like swallowing/tonguing like adult, which I've read is normal in slow hand-fed birds), then after about 5-7 cc's, usually...

    Feeling lost with aggressive conure

    Hello. I've posted before about my conure being a biter, but things seem to be getting worse, not better. There are times when he will step onto my hand and be fine, or he'll bend over and beg to be petted. But even in those calms moments, he'll occasionally latch onto me hard enough to draw...

    My bird seems to hate me but also humps my hand?

    My cockatiel Rocky is super aggressive towards everyone, including myself. He seems to hate hands, if I stand by his cage and bring up a hand to scratch my face he'll lunge and start hissing. However, when I put my hand into his cage, he rushes over and starts to hump my hand. I'll try to put...

    Conure friendly after death of other parrot

    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...

    Aggressive Cockatiel!

    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...

    My Bird Bites and Humps my Hand

    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...

    10 month old Conure Sudden Agression

    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...

    Bird/Baby Relationship

    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).

    After-vacation aggression

    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...
