Albie - Pineapple Green Cheek Conure - Hatch date 14 Dec 2019 - Gotcha date - 4 March 2020
So i have finally gotten around to getting albie to his vet for a pedicure and to chat about his aggression to mr stitch

She has sent off bloods to determine his sex before we decide on the best course of action as she feels its hormone driven aggression hence his unpredictability with his attacks.

She wants to wing clip as an absolute last resort because hes been flighted his whole life and doesnt want to cause more issues or injuries

She suggested i give albie chamomile tea in the mean time to chill his little turkey butt and we get his results next week .

Im not sure what to think about this ,but i need to do something

I hope your vet is able to figure something out, and in the meantime the chamomile is fine to give him:)
How exciting to find out his sex for sure!

It is exciting , hes just feeling sorry for himself

To hear him screaming was quite upsetting ,but they were so good with him
That's so important when you have a vet who is good with them as well as knowledgeable:)

As you may have been reading on here, this years hormone season has been a real killer. Longer and more intense than usual for a lot of parrots in the Northern Hemisphere. The good thing about hormone aggression - "This To Shall Pass".

Ona: Dilute Green Cheek Conure
Sometimes I give Ona dried chamomile flowers in her chop. I never knew you didn't know Albie's sex! It will be exciting to learn what it is. Best of luck in finding a solution.

The breeder told us he was 90% certain albie is male and its never been a huge thing for us to find out ,its been on our to.do.list but its not been urgent . But now its become necessary to know so we can make a plan for albies aggressive tendencies
