I would really appreciate some help. I have a Quaker Parrot who is one year old now. For the past week he has been behaving extremely strange. He has cleared this small circle in the bottom of his cage from all sand and he is constantly sitting in the bottom of his cage. When there he "puffs" up and make this strange noises which he normally does when he gets excited for something and then he does the regurtitating thingy where it looks like he wants to bring up his food.
He has changed to agressive when we go near his cage and he has not said any words since this behaviour has started. He dont even make his kissing noises or the imitating noises of the lovebirds (and he used to love imitating them).
He is not eating as well as normal and wants more cereal than normal. But he is not even wanting his nuts and seeds.
When we take him out for some playtime he only bites and nips at us and is in no mood for playing with us.
I am not sure what this could be but i am also not sure if the fact that my two lovebirds is breeding season and laid some eggs is affecting him in any way as it all started around the same time.
Any Advice Please :( :green2:

Monte..Scarlet macaw, Seminole...yellow napped amazon, Starburst... sun conure...Rain, cinnamon green cheek.
At one year old, is he mature enough to pick up on sexual cues?? I'm not totally sure he is...conures reach that point at around two approx(according to my vet, it varies).. but Quakers, idk.

Good luck in finding out :)

Lucky, Quaker, abt 18/male?
Previous birds: 2 Quakers, 2 budgies, Nanday conure, Indian ringneck, 2 tiels, Red Lory, 300+ finches.
Sounds like female nesting behavior!
Have you had him DNA sexed yet? I had a female tiel that did very similar things before laying her eggs.
