My Tiny Green Monster (and 2 jovial clowns)

[PickleMeDickles]

Okay, so we were blessed (conned) with 3 baby conures from the same breeder a few years ago. They were housed together, played together, slept together, etc. We were suckered into 1 female GCC and a female and male Sun. The 2nd night our precious balls of fluff were home, the midget green GCC (Pickles) turned rabid and tried killing our Suns. Pickles is already small compared to every other GCC I have seen, but boy the attitude.... So, off we went to Walmart at midnight for temporary housing to separate the beasts.

Years later.....Pickles remains a monster towards the other birds. I think she thinks she is human. Seriously. The Suns are housed together but are totally and completely bonded to me. The male will fly at a strangers face and attempt to remove a vital body part such as an ear, nose, eye, so he has to stay locked up with company. Otherwise, my Suns are the easiest going birds ever, except for the green mean machine of course. Pickles is great with people, all people, but not birds.

I have tried behavior mod and have made very slow very slight progress, but hey, what else do I have to do. Any suggestions on how to get them to get along would be MUCH appreciated. It's not like it will be the end of the world if they don't, we'll just carry on rotating our little dinosaurs to keep everyone happy.

How about getting your GCC a Senegal LOL? (Joking)

Have you any clues why this change of heart happened when they were previously harmonious?

Well, there's always the Rickeybird solution...
Just indulge the monster totally, set no limits, let her do whatever she wants.
But seriously, I wish you success. Maybe use the SEARCH tab to read about others' attempts to encourage social/tolerant behavior...
