Poppy turned 1 last month and I feel like we are in a very annoying phase. She is biting a lot more than she used to (not always aggressively, but sometimes) and is much less interested in cuddling. She wants to wrestle constantly. When she's on shoulders, she often goes to bite ears or necks incessantly when she didn't do that before. Feel free to ask for specific scenarios if you need more insight.
I'm not sure what may have caused this behavior change, so I wanted to ask about GCC development stages. Are we just in a "terrible twos" sort of situation? I feel like the behavior change happened out of the blue, and it's becoming increasingly frustrating.
The only other thing I can think of that may be responsible for her moodiness is sickness. I've been trying to treat a respiratory sniffling and wheezing problem for over a month now and can't figure out the cause. We are in California for the next few weeks where she will not be in the same house as the cockatiels, so I'm going to see if the absence of them lessens the irritation. But that's my only other idea.

Bailey just turned 5 months this week and can be bitey sometimes, and always wants to wrestle, but it’s for fun. I knew they went through the terrible twos, but thought it was for a month or two like the parrotlets, but a year or two?!!
