Aggressive Male Cockatiel


Toby is 2 and loves to whistle and interact with his people. He’s started biting my ear when I do something he like or take away a soft item it can be a pot holder or wash cloth sock etc . I know it’s hormonal I try to keep him more in cage he cry for hour when I do that. I’m at my wits end. Will this harmony stuff be over soon??


Answer:

Hi,

Be patient with him – he will settle back down, soon. Be sure to avoid hormone triggers. You might want to check out some of our webinars on pet birds and hormones.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
