hormonal behavior

Hi, Kiwi and Luna are my two lovebirds. Kiwi is the oldest of the two and has lived most of his life in solitude not having interacted much with other birds. That is why he bonded strongly with me and when I decided to give him a new companion things started rough. They were kept in separate...

My bird will NOT stop going in my shirt, and if he isn’t allowed he’ll grumble and complain. What is this? I know he’s a nesting bird but how do I keep this little stinker out of my shirts? :tntrnm::hmmm:

My sun conure is 9 months old and has started to do this weird "walk" towards my phone, my hand, a charger. Is this hormonal behavior? She's still a baby isn't she? Here's a link to the video: https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/ctnDbVrHDQ0U

- By an experienced conure and lovebird dad. PARAKEET (Includes conures, and more) So, It's been a year since you've adopted a 7 week old conure, and now he suddenly starts biting your family, puffing up, and doing his stuff on you. What caused this and what should you do about it now? First...

So my conure, Gordi, is going to be 3 years old in June, and I would say his first hormonal season was last year. I knew that he would probably get nippy each spring but once last spring ended I thought the worst was over. How wrong I was. One night about a week ago, Gordi went to sleep as a his...

hi everyone ! i need your help :(( my first ever male bird, who is now 1 year and 3-4 months old, keeps doing this very strange position some times a day, maybe even 3 or 4, but not every day. im guessing it's a normal hormonal behavior... since before this, he used to drag his butt left-right...

Our ladybird Zephyr has been ringing in the Spring with thirty minutes to an hour of lusty screaming each morning! Ha! :shocked4: She is also doing her sexy dances for my partner, her chosen mate, and making that little purring/growling "come hither" noise. I've found I'm needing to bath her...

Hi, I have an male Indian Ringneck who just turned 3. I’ve only had him for a year and for the first part of it, he behaved well and was trained to play with his own things. however, in the last half of the year, he started regurgitating on everything that was metallic, reflective or had a...

Firstly, please know that I have no interest in breeding. I don't provide nest boxes or nesting material. None of my birds have ever laid eggs, but if they do, I will replace them with dummy eggs. Rowan (male) has been singing and doing heart wings to Willow (female) for about six months. He...

Good morning and happy new year all! I’m new here and have a green wing macaw that I’m told is 2 yrs old however she is showing extreme hormonal signs. She is not egg laying but she has been very “bitey”, trying to climb to the floor and regurgitates on EVERYTHING! Examples would be toys...

Sigh, Lada has started "gurging". Looking for any tips and tricks anyone out there might have to help. I'm not so much looking for explanations. I know whats going on and why and I am already working to reduce, well... in a constant battle really against the dreaded eckie hormones (aren't we...

Hi there, I just got a 1.5 y/o indian ringneck male from a lady who had him for a few months. She said he was dna sexed and that he was incredibly sweet with her. He is tame and steps up readily but after a week of having him and he's gotten more comfortable, he's exhibiting aggressive behavior...

Hello again everyone~ I've noticed that my female budgie is acting more aggressive than usual and doesn't want to interact with us. She also doesn't play with her toys as much as she used to. She seems to get annoyed by our male budgie more easily and sometimes even guards food from him. Could...

This is a long post, but I really need help. I've had my conure for over a year and a half, and I'm still struggling to figure him out ): I have a Yellow-Sided Green-Cheeked Conure named Mowgli. He is 1 year and 9 months old, and I've had him for 1 year and 5 months now. I don't know the gender...

We just got a Blue Front Amazon and he's the sweetest boy but I can't even talk to him now even in a lower voice without him trying to regurgitate for me and if I hold him pretty soon every single time he tries to "mate" with my hands or whatever making his chuffing sounds and tucking his vent...

Kiwi has new doing this a lot around Blizzard lately, I assume it's a hormonal behavior, but I wanted to know what everyone on here thinks.
