You just have to learn to adapt to the bird's hormonal behavior. It usually means more territorial, aggressive behavior, and in females, nesting and/or egg laying. It is temporary/seasonal in many species, like macaws. And, yes, most macaws do start to become hormonal after age 4, and this is often a cause of them losing their homes (because a lot of people don't understand and refuse to adapt). If you want more responses to your question, you could start a new thread on the subject.
