aggressive

Hi all! Questions about my Quaker's behavior as of late: Usually she is very friendly and sweet, playful, mostly chill with being touched. In the past few days she's been, well... bitchy. She wants to fly to my shoulder and hang out but not be touched. She's happy to step up to my finger most...

Hello all, thank you in advance for any information you can give me as I have tried to do a lot of research and I can not seem to come to a particularly good information or method in my case for my bird. My case is rather embarrassing and complicated and I am trying to do right by it now. I have...

Hi, I’m new to the forum. I recently adopted a 4 year old male blue naped amazon. We have reason to believe he has been passed around many families and was abused. He has a large scab on the top of his head and the previous owners kept him in a tiny dog cage and only fed him sunflower seeds...

***A BIRD NET! Don't know why this has never occurred to me before! Any thoughts or advice on these?*** I've posted on here previously about my adopted rescue Amazon Hamish. He's 28 years old (I've been told but no ring to confirm this) and he's a very 'difficult' bird. 'Difficult' in this case...

Hi all, so I've written in the health section about some issues I've had with my GCC Java a few times, health wise he's doing well and we haven't had any scares since thank goodness but now we've moved on to a new issue. Java has recently gotten VERY bitey and aggressive, he's got a good...

I am hoping for some advice with our Red Belly, Al. He is 26 years old, and we just adopted him about 3 months ago. Ever since we got him he has always had an obsession with doors. Opening rooms, closets, the fridge, cupboards, etc would always result in him flying across the room and trying to...

Hello! I've had Papaya for a while now but I feel as though we are not completely bonded as most parrot owners are. I feel as though he is still very skittish and and he tends to bite me when he is in his cage and I know quakers are very cage aggressive but nevertheless I would assume it...

My dearest Eddie.. what have I done to deserve this? Bloodshed! Tears! I’m heartbroken! My little Green Cheek named Eddie is approximately 11 months old so we are nearing his first birthday. I adopted him at about 5 months old so he has been part of my family for around 6 months now. Especially...

I'm making a dedicated thread to how my GCC (named Climber) is constantly looking for things to bite. He has a toy that he usually stands on but apart from that he doesn't have anything else to bite (in my house), so he looks for random things within his reach to bite (even my computer mousepad...

Hi! So, I am completely new to parrots. Two days ago, I got a my first one. He is a 2-3 month old green cheek conure from my local pet store (I named him Alfie). The owner had lowered the price from $600 to $200, because Alfie was an aggressive biter and no one wanted him (He was the only one...

Okay so ill start by saying, this cockatiel was in one of those crowded cages where around 50 birds were held in a small cage and no where to run or go, afraid of all humans and their behavior to come to cages and spook them to get a reaction, i did not intend to get this bird but when i saw...

Hi everyone, so I have this recently adopted Sun Conure Mango. He was one of my class mates and I asked to take him in because they thought he was to loud. When he came home I saw in his cage there was no toys whatsoever so I instantly ordered them (most likely the reason he is loud). He liked...

Hi all, new budgie owner here. I got my 2 budgies about 2 months ago, I believe it's one boy (Gatorade) and a girl (Blueberry). They bonded very quickly when we brought them home, cuddling, preening each other and regurgitating. However recently Blueberry underwent her first molt and started...

Where do I begin. I will explain our entire relationship so you can better understand and help me. Please I'm so desperate We bought fancy, a turquoise green cheek when he was 3 months old...cute little bugger. The second we got him we were able to hold him..didn't bite..nothing. I bought him...

Recently, i got an 8 month old Jenday conure (Around a week and a half ago) and i'm having trouble reading him. When i walk into the room, he jumps on the nearest perch and moves his head back and forth.He also ''crouches'' (Basically bends his head down and watches me). Can anybody tell me if...

Hello all, I'm brand new to this site..just signed up yesterday. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight on my situation. So alittle back story I grew up around birds. My mother raised cockatiels and love birds (so I'm use to bird bites ;)). I even had a conure that was a nasty...

A few months ago I had my GC out and out of nowhere he started biting me like crazy. I'm talking repeatedly trying to tear chunks out of my finger. He's about 3 years old and I've heard of them hitting puberty late, but he isn't showing any signs of wanting to mate with anything at all. At this...

I have a couple of issues I'd appreciate some help with. I've restarted training of Sammie, my 13 1/2 year old white bellied. She's been with me since she was 4 months. I'm experiencing the same issue I had when I initially started target training. I get her to touch a stick or bell and...

Hi all, This is my first post and probably a topic heard quite a bit. I have a male yellow bibbed lorikeet who hatched Apr 11 2018. When he was young, he was very playful and did not bite at all, at least nothing that hurt. I was always gentle, and I would say little phrases like “I got you”...

Hello everyone, I've lived almost all my life around birds and after leaving my parents house I've been missing that. I'm getting myself a cockatoo (I have experience around cockatoos). I think I know how to handle him, and if not, you'll soon hear me looking for help :P I've researched all...
