Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and have tried to do a bit of research on this issue, but I figured this may help too.
We have a 1yr old pineapple conure, male....
Here's my problem.
We got him when he was 6 months old, in November, and have had no issues at all. He's been very loving and cuddling. And now, all of a sudden, he's biting and attacking. It started with just a bite here and there. Then, literally out of nowhere, he started puffing up and attacking my boyfriend. And I keep reading to pay attention to what may be triggering him, but we will just be sitting watching TV, nothing out of the ordinary and he attacks him, even flys at him and attacks. And he seems fine with me most of the time, but he's bitten me so hard twice in the past 2 days, he's broke skin and made me bleed.
We're doing what we've been able to research online. Firmly say no, and push down on his beak, not hard, but when we try that he attacks and bites so hard, and he won't let go. So we put him in his cage and don't interact with him. He even starts to attack the cage if we go near it. But is there something more we can do? Are we doing this correctly? And I Kno it's not going to be an overnight thing, but I don't understand where any of this came from.
Like I said, he was loving towards both of us, more to me, but nothing has been done to him to make him afraid or upset.
So any info and advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
