Why is my male jenday conure acting like this?

[Raz]

My male jenday conure had always been friendly, but would sometimes get angry, which is understandable. But now he’s been suddenly lashing out on my hand or arm when I’m not doing anything at all. I suspect it’s because it is spring , or mating season. I attached a video, if anyone can give me any advice about everything , I’d gladly appreciate it ! (It’s sped up and clipped to be able to attach, message me for more)

While hormones can always be a factor.

Its also easy to have sudden fear of hands, or broken trust even if you aren't aware of the cause.

I've found going and saying hi, offering a treat by hand. And doing this many times a day. Can start bribing your way back into their heart.

And paying very close attention to body language, avoid bites, don't pressure or force interactions. Rebuild thst trust. Spending extra time with them.

If you need to video your interactions and go back abd watch for any missed que. Id say 99% of tge time they are giving them.
