My male Jenday is all of the sudden attacking people in my home. He just turned 4 in July. He is flighted and this has made the problem much worse. I have always been his main person. My husband is away 4-5 days a week for work. My two adult children who live at home with me he tolerates.
A few months ago one of my other daughters came to visit and he flew onto her, when she walked him back into his bird room he bit her aggressively on the neck. He did the same thing to one of my friends lip a few months before that. I now have one of my daughters best friends living with me while she goes to college and he will fly at her and just start biting. And now in the last two weeks he has started flying and attacking my husband when he’s home. Even if he just opens the bird room (also my office) door. I am just at a loss and don’t know what to do. He is sweet as can be with me but he’s all the sudden gotten very aggressive with everyone but myself and my two kids who are home with me regularly.
He’s schedule is typically up at 7am and bed by 7pm. He is out all day in his bird room and only sleeps in his cage. I do have trees, perches and toys for him but he rarely plays with any of it. He’s on a pellet diet, he will eat some fruits but no veggies. I’ve been giving him all the different flavors of nutriberries hoping he will eat some of the dried veggies in them. Can a nutrition issue cause any aggression?
He’s in my office so I am with him 8-9 hours a day. Sometimes he spends a couple hours alone in his bird room before bed, sometimes my daughter plays games in there at night until his bedtime. On the weekends he spends more time in there alone. Not sure if that could cause some of these issues.
He is an amazing little flyer, which obviously makes the issue worse. He flys all over the house when I’m running around cleaning or doing things. Now I’m scared to let him out of his bird room if my husband or my daughters friend is home. But it’s only a matter of time before something happens and he attacks someone again. The thought of clipping his wings just makes me sick, but if that’s what I have to do I guess I will. I’ll just ball like a child when they do it.
I just don’t know what to do. He’s my baby, he ain’t going anywhere. So I’ve got to get this sorted out. Any info or suggestions would be beyond appreciated.
