Butt rubbing

[Wintergreen]

Why is my GCC keep putting her butt on my face she has done it to my friend and my mom and she won't stop. She is a year old is she wanting to mate?

She always attacks my sun for trying to mount her so Idk what to do.

Yeeaaaaaahhhhh sounds like your girlie bird has reached "that" stage I'm afraid! My Lilly the lorikeet was doing exactly that to me this morning, and a whole lot more as she zooms around the house, getting very bitey and looking for nesting sites Make sure you only pet your hen on the head and neck and perhaps pop her somewhere nice and neutral to cool off for a bit if she gets a little too amorous. Also make sure she doesn't get access to anything even remotely resembling a nest box or you may have some infertile egg-laying on your hands, my Lilly is notorious for that!

As for your Sun, it sounds like your GCC might prefer someone else's company over his at present (I'm assuming "Henry" is a male?), and that someone might be you! I don't know what the dynamic is between those two, but I once had a male and female cockatiel and the male would get VERY aggressive towards the female if she showed him even the slightest bit of affection. In your case your GCC may get aggressive towards your Sun in order to ward off his advances, so you may need to keep an eye on that to prevent any scuffles breaking out.

Aaaaah puberty, ain't it grand?! Best of luck to you!

Yep!

I just finished adding my whimsical comments concerning Chris' loving rants about Parker's hormonal antics!

In another 30 years or so, it will probably get easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
