aggressive

My indian ringneck parrot is about 4 years old and becomes very jealous when my cousin comes over. His eyes pin and he bites me. It breaks my heart whenever he becomes aggressive as he has never been like this before, its like he is a totally different bird, normally he is an angel! :( Recently...

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...

I have experienced one of the weirdest moments with my birds today. I want to share it and see if you guys have any insight as to what may be causing the behavioural shift. So the basic backstory is Aldora and Sydney do NOT get on. They will both attack each other, and neither back down from a...

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...

Budgies are cute and tiny with big personalities. And then theres Quinn, my tamed budgie. I decided to purchase him at a store when I was out buying some supplies because he seemed to be the most dominant one and was bullying every other bird so I thought why the hell not? I brought him home and...

My lovebird, Peach, came to us maybe just over 2 weeks ago. He was getting more settled and comfortable each day, preening us and trying new foods. We brought home our Indian Ringneck a few days ago and since then, Peach will not. Shut. Up. It's not chirping. It's screaming. He also started...

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...

Recently my housemate decided to get a pair of young green cheek conures, brother & sister that are almost inseparable but also good with people. My green cheek is purely a one person trusting bird, skittish around other people unless treats are in the mix, great around other birds & dogs BUT...

I need all you parrot experts to help me. I just found this site & signed up hoping for help and to learn. I have been researching parrots for many many months, when I say research I mean reading hours a day, I've watched almost every single youtube video about training & taming. My husband &...

hi, I have a 4 yr old Congo African Grey that I have had for two years. I recently adopted a 24 yr old Scarlett Macaw, about 4 months ago. She is a super playful and friendly bird...most of the time. If I am with her by myself, she acts so sweet, will sit on my lap for headscratches and just...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site :) My pineapple conure is only 6 months old and she's been going through her first molt for over three months now. Her attitude during the molt is what we expected from reading the forums, but recently her mood has changed drastically. She was a huge snuggler...

My sun conure is somewhat new to the family and his past life is a mystery to us. He absolutely hates men. Especially beards. He'll go out of his way to jump off his perch and and attack my dad while he's minding his own business. No eye contact was made. The only people he will allow to get...

Hello, everyone! I have just joined the site because I have many question about my green cheek conure, and how to properly train it. It started nine months ago, when I started researching green cheek conures for the pure intention of liking the species. Later that month it spiraled into actually...

Hey there. My sister has a ten month old caique. I told her not to get him because I thought we wouldn't be able to handle him. She got him anyway. I was right. He's loud and screams when attention is not on him. He can be heard from outside of the house. He's aggressive and draws blood when he...

I have recently become the owner of an adorable peach-faced lovebird. She's my first lovebird. In the past, I have had budgies and all but one were very sweet. She's a slate pied and she is my pride and joy. She's about 5 months old now and I've had her for around 2 months. She hasn't been DNA...

Hi everyone! I am the proud momma of a Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo named Crocky, and a CAG named Henry. My husband and I are trying to start a family, and I wanted to know if anyone has any advice about how to make this a smooth transition for the birds. I'm not really worried about Henry...

Hello! I've had my Umbrella Cockatoo, Bettencourt, for a few weeks now, and she's been wonderful, Of course there are the occasional attitude problems but she is very loving, cuddly, and is thriving in her now home, The only problem I've come across, is that she is extremely aggressive towards...

We have had our Congo African Grey Henry for a few years now. He is 15 years old. Last year around this time, he started chewing his feathers for the first time. Just around his crop, and it didn't get bad until January when we thought he was dying and rushed him to the vet because he had...

Hi Everyone! I would really, really appreciate some advice as I have no idea what else I can do to resolve my problem. (please bear with me as the names of my birds might confuse you with their sex). -First I bought Mr White (blue fischer who is a MALE) and Mr. Blonde (green/yellow/orange)...

I need urgent advice. About a week ago I moved my two linnies into a new cage (the old one has already been thrown away - it was rusty) and tonight my male bird has suddenly started chasing and attacking his mate. I am assuming this must be a territorial issue, or perhaps an adverse reaction to...
