I was curious of you guy's opinion on the most and least hormonal birds.
Lately my beloved cockatiel has gotten better, but he still is territorial of his cage and is a little too interested in dark corners or shelves. Just the other day he throwing a fit and was nipping me while on my lap, and went to the edge of the chair and spread his wings territorial-like. It's the price for scritches.
Anyway, I never really read/expected much about cockatiels being like this. I am interested in you guy's opinions and experiences on which birds are the most hormonal, and which are the least. It is largely individual-based, but I've read that caiques, large cockatoos, quakers, lovebirds, eclectus, and hawkheads seem to be more renowned for hormones. I don't know much about the least, maybe small birds including budgies, other keets, cockatiels, senegals, conures?
