aggressive

Hi all, I am new here and really looking forward to the insight of others who know what its like living with a parrot ! Heres my story, Ill try to make it short and spare you the dramatics. Two and a half years ago I adopted a female Eclectus who I named Coco. She was 4 years old...

Juniper is a 3 year old, female budgie. She is very tame and has never has issues with biting. Lately she has been biting my lip and holding in place of giving her normal "kissing" pecks. I believe it is out of affection. My initial thought was that it was due to hormone changes, since it is...

My newly adopted senegal is 15. Loves me from the getgo. Is very bonded to me. I just observe his behavior before petting him or picking him up or getting anything in his cage since he is temperamental. But he clung to me as his new owner which is great. His past owner said he was friendly with...

Hello, my name is Marko. I just made an account here after being unable to sleep [it's 2:31 AM local time]. I can't stop blaming my self for my parrots behavior. I had tons of animals in my house [my mom is bound to become a crazy cat lady one day] but I always wanted a parrot. I finally got...

It's been weeks, my yellow sided conure has been really temperamental and has been attacking me, biting me and trying to really pull out some skin, it's to the point I cant stop crying because my sweet natured bird just refuses to be nice. He bites, lunges, and puffs up gets real mean. I work...

As I am still in high school, I have a couple of things that unfortunately must come before my pets. For a bit over 2 days, I will be away on a school camp. I am leaving my parrot (that I intensively train everyday to avoid aggression issues that have previously appeared) with my mum, so he...

(sorry for the rambling) my dad just got a Quaker Parrot for the family, He/she is 1 to 2 years old. The original owners neglected him/her and its unknown how much handling hes actually had. Then my cousin had him for just a month and her kids used to occasionally beat on his cage. He has...

Hi, I'm Ayla. I'v never used a forum before so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. So maybe I should just get to the point. I have a blue fronted amazon named Jade. We have a very very love hate relationship. My dad got him when I was around 8ish. He was being abused by his previous owners...

Hello, I have a blue-masked lovebird, Tom, and I have had him just over a year. This whole year he has been so friendly and we were best friends. First thing in the morning he would fly over to my bed as soon as I would wake up to cuddle and be pet. He would always be on my shoulder when I was...

The bird store we got our first two conures (the first one dying due to heart defect) has a weaning senegal parrot on reserve for us. The senegal is kept in another room with different parrots to separate it from the available stock. Every day or every few days we've been going there to interact...

hello, i've had my alex for about 2 weeks now and he is around 12 weeks old. He came to us a happy little guy, cuddly, smoochy and all but in the last 4 days he's started biting, attacking and not letting me near him. 5 minutes ago after trying all day to get him to come to me he climbed up to...

Hello! So it's been about another month since I last posted about Dexter, my Green Cheek Conure. He still won't let me handle him, but he is definitely much fonder of me. I started with some basic training and he now is target trained, can say "pretty bird" (we think he was already taught...

So about a month ago I bought a 7 year old green cheek conure from a friend of my roommate and I've been having some issues. I am relatively new to birds but my roommate who is fairly experienced and has a caique of her own has been helping me. Dexter, what I've been calling my green cheek...

Hi folks, This is my first post. Long story short, I discovered a jenday conure in my complex; after no success trying to find its owner, I decided to keep him/her, because he/she was very sweet (in the beginning). His name is Sammy Davis Jr, because he bobs his head up and down. Here's whats...

I am going to start volunteering at a local parrot rescue and they have alot of birds with many different temperaments. I was just wondering if anyone knew ways to maybe keep them calm or just body language that won't make them angry. I went in today for just a little while to talk to the owners...

Hi, my name's Hazel, originally from Scotland but currently staying in the DR. We sailed here from the USA on our boat with our dog Gaelan and BFA Calli.:green: We're not sure how old he is as we rescued him 3 years ago in South Carolina, but we think he's somewhere between 10-15yrs old. He'd...

My green cheek conure bubba was severely over bonded. every time i left the room he would scream at the top of his lungs. he was also nasty to everyone else in the family charging and biting them all the time. well i read to give them some time in their cage with toys and things like that. so i...
