Aggressive conure.

[Konstantinos]

I have a behavior problem with Paris. The last time when a friend comes at my home he became aggressive to me ,bites me and wants to go on friend arm or shoulder. The same do when I take him at my friends house. Only with my parents and my sister is ok at their house and if he see another man he became aggressive to me again. When the friend leave the house or when I take him from friends houses and return home he became the good quite, playful and lovely bird who wants to give kisses and hugs to me.He started do this in Augost and supposed he is in mate time. All the other time he is a very good bird. I can not understand why he reacts like this way with my friends.

Our macaw does that too.
When she gets onto a friend that she likes, I can not take her off of them, they have to put her up.

My lovebird does the same, when my boyfriend is around, I no longer exsist and I better not try to get her off of him!

The bird is looking at your friend as a potential mate and there for that makes you an intruder/competition while it is happening.

ok I understand I have no problem to go to everyone, my problem is why he wants to bite me.

By biting you, he is trying to make you go away... it's his way of saying "Please leave, Konstantinos". He wants to claim your friend as his own and thinks that you are competing with him.

I think that since he sees your parents and sisters family so often, that he thinks of them as part of his flock. When a new person comes around (like your friend), he wants to become friendly with them. He bites you to try and make you leave so that he does not have any competition.

Thanks everyone.I think it is all you wrote.

Ella will get this way if Paul is around. She has selected him as her mate, and while I have been working with her, its better for me to leave her alone if she is on Paul for an extended period of time, or she will view me as "competition" (which essentially, I am, the little brat. She gets more kissies from my hubby than I do sometimes ) and will go after me if I get too close.

Or could it be that he's afraid Konstantinos will leave him for his friend and he's biting to make him stay away from his friend?

I agree this is a possibility. My QP Buddy who never bites will give me a warning nip if I talk to my hubby too much when I am holding her. She is telling me, keep your eyes off him and behave yourself. You belong to me!!!!!

It is the opposite for me. If someone is over and I take Chiquita out Chiquita will attack other people but not me, she is protecting me. Boomer will just go on anyone.
