My lovebird, Peaches, has a habit of biting whenever I have company over. She loves seeing new people and is quick to fly right to them, but whenever I get close (usually to pick her up myself or remove her if requested), I receive a nice, painful bite.

We have 2 blue and gold macaws, both male, or so we thought. On April first of 2018 we found an egg. Today April 19th, Howie, now Holly, has dropped another egg. We never researched females so we are clueless. How often does a 7 year old macaw lay eggs? How can I tell if my other is a male...
