I have a 6 year old male scarlet macaw, my husband and I got him at a couple of weeks old. He’s been amazing all these years with minimal, regular problems you’d run into that have been easily solved.
About 1.5 ago I became pregnant and he became very aggressive with me, with a few moments a week of peace. Baby is now 6 months old and he’s less aggressive than he was, but not even close to where he was originally. He’s begun destroying the house. And to top it allll off he’s started chewing on feathers, not plucking yet but definitely chewing.
He gets pretty much the same attention he did before all of this. We have 4 dogs and he loves them and will play with them all day and night. We have a 5000+ sq ft house, it’s mostly open concept and he’s free to roam and fly wherever. My husband wasn’t originally his person, but since becoming pregnant I’m no longer his person and my husband is, which is fine! He’s got toys on his perch, all over and inside his cage. I know puberty is probably playing a part, and obviously me changing and having a baby. But I’ve tried all I know to, I’ve taken advice from vets and friends.
I’m at a loss, and rehoming just isn’t on the table for us since we are all he knows. I’ll take any advice or tips
