I need to downshift. So I got him (gender unknown) from an exclusively bird pet store. In my opinion, looking back, I might've rushed into it. No one else in my family wanted a bird, and it was just me (I was still in middle school, and am now in high school) to take care of him...
Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help with sound advice, I cannot find much about this online.
My black capped conure is bonded with me (unintentional on my part) -- I know this because a vet confirmed that the aggressive showiness toward other people is a sign that he considers me his mate...
Hi, I've been looking for some help on how to get my pineapple conure to stop biting, and to hopefully get an idea of why she's biting in the first place. There was another thread about biting conures, I however feel I need to be very specific with my case, as I haven't found tips on stopping...
Hi,
I've had my white fronted Amazon for about eight years now. He never bites me except in specific circumstances. Every time he gets around a new bird or even a small mammal, he gets very aggressive.
I've recently moved back home to my parents who have another male Amazon. My bird, Morty...
I posted earlier about my rescued B&G, Cotton. I'm trying to help this poor boy out the best I can. So a quick review. I got him from someone with no bird experiance, he was in a tiny cage, he is supposedly 7 years old, and he plucks.
Now on with his new problem. He has started attacking his...
Hey everyone, My boyfriend and I have had Loki, a pearly conure, for about 5 months now. He's always been nicer to my bf, and been kind of nippy with me. He doesn't really like to go play with toys or anything, he just hangs out on us all the time, and would just fly from one of us to the other...
I have a hypothesis that I would like to hear your thoughts on.
I notice that when birds are aggressive, they are often rehomed as "breeders". After talking with a handful of breeders, I've found that the majority of their birds, particularly amazons and other large birds, were one-time pets...
So lulu seems to tolerate everyone in the house although she won't step up for anyone except me, unless she just is desperate to leave where she is (i.e. when she is on the floor or on an awkward angle on a perch). Well about an hour ago my sister (9 yrs old) and I were sitting on the floor...
Hello everyone.
I'm fairly new to these forums but I thought I'd ask you guys what you think about my blue crown's (Kongo) behavior.
He originally came from a home that kept him in a covered cage in a garage (in Indiana...) and the only contact he had with people was being picked up with a...
I've recently adopted an amazon parrot with some aggression issues.
He is at least 14 years old and has had two owners before me.
I got him from someone that kept him at a dog grooming shop as a sort of entertainment for her customers. At the shop there is always some sort of commotion going...
About a week ago my female ekkie started becoming very cage aggressive, and refuses to come out for me. Whenever I approach her cage, she leaps onto the food bowl in the back corner and crouches down into attack mode. ):
She usually comes right out for me, or if she doesn't want to she just...

Hi, I'm new here, I had to register because I can't handle my parrot's behaviour anymore. Also, english is not my native language and I'm sorry for all my mistakes.
So, I have two conures, one is 3 years old, second about 1 year old. They're together a year, both of them are hand-feeded, but...
our first month and a half or so with crowley has been a blast. we finally took him in for his first vet visit, and he's totally normal and healthy, i got him dna sexed and he's officially a male, OUR LITTLE MAN :) haha.
everything has been great except for his cage aggression. he's totally...
I've posted on the cockatoo thread about Gwynn, so a quick read there will give background - he's had a bad time, I haven't had him long and I'm still finding out why he's been through so many people in a short space of time.
This evening things were going really well. He was flying from the...
Hi Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a female Green Cheek that is just about to turn 2 years old. She was hand raised in by a family (that are breeders). She has been great up until about 6 weeks ago, she has suddenly decided she HATES my hands. I will try not to get long winded...
Ok so about a month ago my male eclectus has started exhibiting aggression towards my mother. I do not live in the house, however plan to take him when I no longer live in an apartment (mine doesn't allow birds). Because Ive had him so long, he is very bonded to me. It started with food...
So I have a lovebird that I acquired about a month ago from an animal rescue. He had been living there about 4 or 5 years. I named him/her Sunny. He had a happy hut he had shredded into almost a hammock, it was so bad. It was sort of his security blanket though, so I got rid of that one and...
