Hi All
My year old conure has always been very friendly and interested in people. She is the only bird in the house with my boyfriend and I. All of her bonding type behaviour to us has been normal. Although recently she has been trying to feed us by vomitting on us and so on. There is no distress in the vommitting behaviour and she is in great health.
Last week the neighbour's child came to visit. Even before the child came into the room where the cage is, she puffed herself up and began to act extremely aggressively. When I took her out the cage, she bit me furiously, screamed, flew to the child and attacked her for absolutely no apparent reason! In the past, she has been wonderful with the same children, docile and sweet but this is the reaction now.
I thought maybe it is some sort of sexual maturity phase where the behaviour could be related to protecting the nest or flock? Has anyone else had trouble with this sort of behaviour? Much appreciated!
