I got my sweet pied cockatiel at just 7 weeks old, he was the only surviving chick of the litter so got lots of 1 on 1 time as well as hand fed.Ive I've had him for about 2 months? He has always been extremely tame, loved cuddles and pets, and has never shown any aggression. I have one other cockatiel, and 3 parakeets. About a week ago, he started biting my hands occasionally. He would step up just fine, but sometimes when I went to pet him he would attack my fingers. This slowly got worse, to where most of the time I try to pet him he would bite several times. sometimes hard, too. Just a few moments ago I went to pick him up off the ground and he hissed at me and started going for my fingers. I picked up my other tiel, as well as him and sat down with them. he wouldn't let me touch him, so I pet my other birb instead. However, he began to bite my fingers while I was petting her and made angry noises. I placed him a bit of a distance from me, and he jumped back over to me and bit at my face. I dont understand what happened to him. I placed him inside his cage for the time being (by the way, their cage is nearly never closed, and they free roam my room all day.) I haven't changed anything in the way I take care of him. He still flies to me, but will sometimes start biting whatever he can even though he came to me on his own. I would say he's being hormonal but he's barely 4 months old? He has lots of shredding toys, a large cage, lots of attention, and tons of excersize time.
