Conure behavior


I am a 1st time Parrot mom with a lively 12 yr old conure adopted from a rescue. Are these hormonal changes temporary and if so, how long will it last?


Answer:

Hi Laura,

I’m sorry we didn’t get to your question during the May 8 Webinar, but Dr. Lamb did answer live during the May 15 webinar – please view using the link below.

Hormonal behavior can last into a bird’s senior years. Generally it is seasonal, and by following Dr. Lamb’s advice, the behavior can be minimized by limiting or removing triggers.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
