aggressive

I've been having problems with my male cockatiel, Bruno. I love him so much — he's been my buddy for about six years, and he's around that age too. He's always been such a gentleman: got along with everyone, loved scritches, and although he can't sing in tune to save his life (lol), he tries —...

I have a male caique that's about to pass the 2 year mark, and he started exhibiting more hormonal behavior (doing poses while moving slowly etc.). He doesn't seem to want to mate with a particular person in my family, he is more fond of me than anyone else in some aspects however the person...

I have had a cockatiel for a few months now, and have now had the time to tame him (previously he wasn’t mine but now he is, long story). He is comfortable coming up to me through his cage bars or on top of his cage to look at me. Sometimes he does hiss and I slowly back away to give him space...

so i have an indian ring necked male parrot who has just turned 2 years old. he has this habit of getting over excited when he looks at himself in phones front camera specifically (especially when I am on video calls) and he starts looking at himself, talking, playing around, and then all of a...

Hi! Question for you peoplso a little bit of context; I've had Skittles for 3 years. I hand feeded her when she was a couple weeks old and she became super friendly and loving. She is a female. She is nice. Has some moments when she is more moody and will nip a bit to let us know she needs us...

Two weeks ago I obtained a female eclectus parrot (a year or younger) that I was told was tame and did not bite. However on the second day of having her she did bite me when I was fixing a perch. It wasn't super hard, but it did hurt a lot as I have fibromyalgia (more intense pain). Needless to...

I kind of inherited a pair of green cheeks after their owner (family friend) could not keep them anymore. They have been in the same cage together since the original owner got them (3-4 years) and are now bonded. I've been training them every day for a few months now, but when it comes to cage...

Hi! My GC conure Pluto, is about 9 months old. Up until 6 months, he was friendly and interacted with me, my kids, my nephews that would come over every other day, just about everyone. He was very well bahaved. Then he changed. He started attacking my children and anyone else who entered my home...

Hello :) My sun conure, Skyler, is 4 months old and has been biting me. The bites used to seem like they were just playful and happened when he was too excited or when climbing all over me and he needed grip. Whenever he bites, I calmly but firmly tell him “no biting” and put him away for a...

I have two Green Cheek Conure, Lewis and Lance. Lewis was my first conure and is about to turn two, which I heard can cause them to behave horribly. After a week of aggressively biting me, even flying to me just to attack, he is finally nice to me again. He broke the skin on my fingers more...

I have two beautiful two months old cockatiels that I helped their parents raise by hand feeding them with the parents daily. I didn't spend much time with them after hand feeding, not more than 1-2 minutes in my hand talking to them. they step up when I push my finger against their chest they...

My peachfaced lovebird, Olive, is about 2 and recently (as of March) has gotten more and more hormonal and aggressive. She has never been a super cuddly/affectionate bird, and rather prefers to hang out on my shoulder or just sit on the couch next to me, but lately she has become impossible to...

Hello, I am new to this forum and I'm seeking some help with my cockatiels new behaviors. I've had my cockatiel for about 3 years now and as of recently he has had a huge personality change. He is constantly biting me, hissing angrily when I walk near or when I wake him up in the morning. He...

Hi everyone. I have two green cheek conure brothers named Tokio and Hero, and they are 10 months old. The subject of this post is that I’m starting to get more and more concerned about their behaviour towards each other, specifically Tokio towards Hero. Tokio has started to become quite...

Hi. I’m a new member and need some advice. A bit of a back story, I got 2 Cockatiels 2 years ago, a young female and an older male. The male has always been protective of the female and they’ve been inseparable. A couple of days ago the female passed away (she had underlying health issues) and...

To establish some background, my boyfriend and I share a 350sf studio and rescued an approximately one-year-old cobalt linnie in March of 2019. We rescued him from a young woman who had to move for college and couldn't keep him. He spent the first year of his life confined to a small cage in a...

Okay so its been a couple days since I last posted and I'm just losing all hope. I'll try and explain. My cockatiel Theo (barely 5 months now) was getting so good at stepping up and once in a while he would do it without millet! I've had him for about 5 maybe 6 weeks. I trained with him for...

One of my budgies, Sky (or Skylar Blue when she’s being naughty), has suddenly gotten very aggressive. The first couple months I had her, she was fairly sweet. The last 4 months or so though, she has started biting all the time—both in and out of the cage. I have bite marks all over my fingers...

Hey guys, maybe you all can help me. I posted a while back about introducing a new conure with my year old one and they’re getting along well. However recently my old boy has started to aggressively attack my mother. She would visit every day and they used to be very close. Now he will randomly...

Hello everyone! I need your help! About two years ago I rescued a cockatiel (Lucky) and a budgie (Tiny), both seniors, from a bad situation. They were in the care of a friend of mine who didn't take good care of them. Their cage was always filthy, their toys were never changed, they were on a...
