biting aggressive

I have a green cheek conure and a crimson bellied conure sharing the same cage. I've had them for about 4 years and they have shared a cage. Now I am used to being bitten here and there by my birds (anything with a mouth can bite). So my green cheek has been showing aggression over time but I...

Hello! This is my first post other than the 1st "hello" post, so bear with me - I have not yet learned the lingo here. �� Anywho on to the issue- I just recently within the last few weeks traded a mini colt for a ACG, because the family has a young son is is very sick with a left...

I have a Sennie who is 13+ and has a tude beyond compare! He also can read my mind! He was a "mans" bird when we first got him...over 5 years ago. He would "hunt me down" and attack my feet if I interupted or joined them (my husband and Birdie) in whistling to/with each other!! That was when...

I recently got a 3 year old sun conure. I'm guessing his past owners didn't treat him as well as they should, but he bites really hard when I go to take him out of the cage. Once I get him out (with 5 layers of socks on each hand) he is really nice and rarely bites. Any tips to stop biting?

Hey everyone :( I just had a pretty rough experience with my lorikeet. Some days he seems fine, yes he can get a little possessive but he usually doesn't lash out without warning. Just now, he was sitting on my hand while I was rinsing out his water bowl. Somehow this apparently enrages him...

My mother has two Green Cheek Conures. One is very friendly and loves attention and the other is a recently rescued bird (couple weeks now) and it very moody. Lunar is the bird's name. My mother had no problem hand taming Charlie (the other conure) but Lunar is very back and forth and...

Yesterday we adopted a (roughly) 3 year old female alexandrine to add to our family and keep our 2 year old male(and only bird) companionship. Have never adopted an older bird before.. in fact our only parrot experience is with our current bird and we have had him since a baby. She is hand...

Hi there, So I just bought 2 new conures named tiggy and Bobby. They are parent reared and from a pet shop. They are some what friendly in the sense that they have no issue flying on to me and sitting on my shoulder, arm, hand or head. However they very much like to bite my hand/neck/ears/more...

So yesterday I was given a pair of bonded caique brothers. They've been together since hatching, and are very close. They're 8 years old, and had to be rehomed because their original owner is moving into a much smaller house. Their previous living arrangement was in a room dedicated as an...

We've had our bird for a couple of years now. Bought him as a hand-raised chick. To me he is very affectionate and will spend all day on me if he was allowed. He has always "hated" my husband, attacks him and latches firmly on his ears or fingers. He now "hates" my son (16) and will show signs...

My green cheek is 9 months old and he has bonded beautifully with me trusts me completely. He doesn't bite me unless my 5 yr old comes within a foot of us. And he is biting to hurt to draw blood, and to get my son not actually me. (not just the lil nip u get if he doesn't want that quill...

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...

Hi all! I'm brand new here, so it's really really great to meet you all! I hope I make lots of friends and get loads of advice here. First of all, about three weeks ago I adopted a conure from a family who couldn't keep him. He's had loads of attention from us, we're always talking to him and...

I've had my Meyer, Charlie for 6 months now and he has been an absolute dream. He loves coming out of his cage and socializing and eating his favorite treat, Cheerios. However, something very odd happened yesterday. I put him back in his cage around 4pm when I left for work. I got home at 9pm...

Hi there, myself and my partner have had our conure for 3 weeks now, he is about 8 months old by the name of reggie and he's fantastic apart from certain things. 1) He hates skin! Put a hand anywhere near him and he will launch for it and attack, drawing blood whenever he can! Arms are fair...

Hi all parrot luvers ^_^ I am the proud owner of a male hand raised fancy green cheek conure who is now two years old!......I ended up buying him when I had to leave a little pet store that I was working at due to moving. All the time and effort that I had put into the little terd made me very...

Hi Guys, I have been reading up on some of your help & information threads and FAQs from other members about GCC's behaviour habits and how to bond etc, But it just does not seem to be working for me? :( I am 22 and recently visited my local pet store where I found 2 GCC (One Male, One Female)...

Hello everyone my name is Niall and I have a 19 year old Timneh African Grey Parrot we have had him since he was about 2 years old, since we have had him he has been very aggressive and bites when ever you go near him, also if you go near his cage he will walk over to you if you put you hand...

She is two years old if anybody...

A couple weeks ago i bought a 3 yr old quaker parrot with his cage and all off of craigslist. Every time you put your hands near him, even just on the bars of his cage he freaks out, lunges at my hand and it sounds almost like he hisses? Is he doing this because he just needs more time to get...
