Long story how I got this white capped pionus. I took him sight unseen at about the age of 7 yrs . When he was delivered I was assured he loved women and hated men. Well after the introductory period, my husband got cuddles and I got a bite that left me standing in a pool of blood (I kid you not) I don't give up on birds and after several years Tucson tolerated me. He was a bit odd but he tolerated me. He hated T shirts with figures on them that had eyes. so I learned to cover them up . He let me pet him and handle him and even take him to the vet when he picked up some kind of an infection.
Five years ago my husband passed away. I think Tucson blamed me for his disappearance. I had to start winning him all over . All has been well for the past few years . For the past month or so he has been trying to attack me. I can barely open his feed doors. to feed him. I figured out He didn't like my long sleeved shirt so I push up the sleeves and he's apprehensive but acts much better.
I've had this bird for 14 years and he still doesn't trust me. I have always suspected he was abused in his former home by the way he acts but that was a very long time ago. Could hormones out of whack cause this attacking behavior? He goes into a frenzy when I approach the cage. He attacks everything in the cage and rips his toys apart. I need some input. Nothing has changed. I haven't even changed my hair. The room is the same. My other birds(all males) are fine except maybe a little bit in breeding mode.
