A few months ago my Quaker parrots have gotten very aggressive.They have gotten to the point where i cant even touch them and i cant do anything with them.Its like the first time i got them i couldn't touch them but as time pasted they got friendly.They are going to be a 1 year and 2 months the fifteen.I don't know if its that they are jealous because i bought 2 meyers parrots.What can it be?What can i do?i just want to be able to touch them again.:(

Look into clicker training and positive reinforcement. It's about keeping all of our interactions between them positive ones, and if they do behaviors that we want them to, to reward them for doing so. You don't want to force them to interact with you and you want to avoid getting bitten. The only bite that can't be rewarded is the one that doesn't happen.

It's often under the guise of clicker training and can be a fun way for owners and birds to interact!
