territorial

Hi all, in the last few months I got my sweetheart GCC Vesper a buddy (Temporarily dubbed 'Baby'). He's about 2.5-3 months old. Right now I am working with all of my birds to get them more tame, but I've been running into a big issue with Baby, in that he is very bitey with hands. Not just nip...

Before I start this, I will say that any replies to this made after this coming Tuesday, February 4th will not be relevant anymore, as I have decided with a heavy heart that Mickey will be going to a different owner. I've lost my income recently and thus I will no longer be able to afford to...

So I'm sitting here in bed, Mickey's sitting in his cage as per usual. He's singing a lot more now, but I'm not able to tell if it's because he's feeling territorial or if he's happy. He doesn't move around much, and as a matter of fact tends to go between three places in the cage, to the front...

Hey everyone, Moki and Mango are back again haha Moki is doing a lot better. He's much more active and with a little luck finally some tail feathers might refuse to fall out and he'll be able to grow them all back. I've got a behavior question this time... Moki sings, but at times it's not...

Hello everyone. I have a bit of a problem. I adopted a male two years ago that has always been quite dominant and somewhat aggressive towards my female. They do mate but they dont cuddle or preen each other, they don't feed each other either. The female has recently laid eggs in the aviary I...

I'm really not expecting any solution for this as it's only a mild annoyance and not anything super problematic. Ok so my bird will go on my keyboard and chew and peck around at it while I'm playing a game or watching something and will often go under my hand; then the situation happens as...

Hi all, I have two cockatiel one is female for sure (as she does female call) and other one male may be because he sings and do heart wings. I have female cockatiel from 3 months and she had her first molt a week ago. She was kind a bonded with me but at some point I need to go out of house and...

We got a baby (8-9 weeks old) Sun Conure just yesterday, this is our first time getting a second bird and getting one so young. We have another bird at home, a Quaker parrot who's about 9 months old and has aggressive and territorial tendencies. We've tried to keep them apart from each other...

So.... We adopted Penelope, a 35 year old Cockatoo. Her owner had passed and the wife had a love/hate relationship with the bird and had to part with it. She wanted to do more with Penelope but was afraid to let her out of her cage due to biting episodes. I was warned that she hated females and...

Hi everyone! First off I want to say THANK YOU so much for this amazing community. It has been a plethora of information and I am so happy to have found and learned so many amazing insights from caring, passionate, and experienced owners of our lovely feathered friend. So before I begin with my...

Had another finch behavior question. I have noticed that a LOT of finch videos out there, particularly Zebra finch videos showcase territorial behavior in males. Are there large differences behavior wise between Zebra and Society finches? Let me explain. So far my two finches are sooooooo...

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...

Maccha has recently started flying at my sister's face when ever she walks past his cage, or is sitting on his favourite couch. Is there anything I can do to stop Maccha from dive bombing her?

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...
