Alexandrine Hormonal Behaviour – 3

Hi,
I have started taking action since the past 3-4 days. As I’m 13, it’s not easy for me to get a new bowl just cause he’s showing some weird behaviour. So all I’m doing is feed him through the bowl as usual and take it away as soon as he’s done eating. Also, he doesn’t do this stare-off with other people, just the utensils he eats in. He is also growing a dark ring around his neck!

Hi,

Congratulations on your boy! He’s going to look really great when he gets in all of his male coloration. Since he should always have some food in his cage, maybe clip some veggies to the cage bars for when you have removed his bowl. But his water needs to be in the cage all of the time.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
