Hi, I have 2 quakers:
1st female 1.5 years old
2nd male 2.5 years old
I believe that both are hormonal.
He started off nice back in January 2020, now he is very aggressive towards me, and wife, mainly my wife, she has been bitten several times with blood, he will fly out of the cage and expect to land on a head or shoulder, we don't allow this, so we put our arm out for him to land on, but just before he lands he bites the arm, very territorial in the cage over everything, food, water, toys, he poops in the food bowl when he sees me.
However, my question is this they both sit beside each other in the cage and preen one another, everyday, but the female on her neck is losing feathers.
I do have a breading box in the cage, he is always in it, and sleeps in there as well, I have caught her once in it, last week.
Here is an image of her neck, this really is my only concern at this stage.
The female is great, and loves me heaps, I've hand raised her, she always been very attentive towards me.
Should I been concerned about her feathers.
Any and all advise is welcome.
Regards Ric
