Kermit is still a baby, around 7 months old. Heās a great bird - very sweet, likes everyone, cuddly, playful, and great at tricks. But Iāve just been reading so many stories of how once sweet, cuddly green cheeks turn into vicious biting monsters and become one person birds who attack everyone else once they reach puberty. And this made me worry about what will happen when my sweet baby Kermit matures and hormones start to kick in. I want him to stay the same as he is now, and I worry that he will turn aggressive toward me or my family when he hits puberty. Ducky and Bluebell never really went through a hormonal stage - Ducky is 2 years old and Bluebell is 4 and their personalities havenāt really changed, apart from Bluebell becoming a little less interested in bonding with humans. Ducky has always been his sweet self without any sort of change. Iām just worried that Kermitās personality will change drastically and he will no longer be my adorable baby once he matures. Iāve read about green cheeks in particular flying and attacking anyone other than ātheirā person, biting everyone including their owners, and even changing who theyāre comfortable with - as a baby they like one person, then they fall in love with someone else and start attacking that person. Itās only natural to worry - sorry if I seem too freaked out about it. Can you help me understand what puberty is like for green cheeks? Do they continue to be aggressive and hormonal or is it just a phase? Is there anything I can do about it?
