Hey there. I came to the parrot forums for this because I don't know what it is, but my bird Kiwi has been biting me a lot recently and I don't know why. As much as I don't want to say it I might consider selling him if his biting doesn't stop or get better. I accidently hit him very lightly a month ago when trying to cuddle him, but a week later I had gathered his trust again. But recently he's begun biting more and more. What I also realized is he's begun loosing more feathers than normal, he has some gray splotches on him. I don't know of anything that would make him mad or something. I just really miss my old bird and want him back, does anyone have any advice on how I can help better tame him? Should I just start from square 1 again and tame him all over again? Also, the chances of me getting rid of him are low because I love him so much, I'm just in a state of going crazy because I'm sad because he won't stop biting so much. Thanks to everyone out there who might know something.
(Edit) I think I might know what the issue is. I looked back at an old post of mine about my YSGCC having a weird orange spot near his eye, and thats apparently adult feathers coming in. I've heard birds have puberty and can get moody around those times, so I think my YSGCC might be going through puberty and is moody. I've noticed he's been getting angry at pretty much everything lately, so I'm assuming its that. If anyone has any other ideas or ways that I can maybe fix it I would appreciate it, thanks!
