Is your parrot hormonal? How to know and what to do

Hormonal behavior in parrots is blamed on a lot of behavior problems, from biting, nipping, and screaming to attacking other household members. It also leads to a lot of pseudo solutions that only frustrate parrot owners, like increasing photoperiod. We talk real solutions for your hormonal parrots.

Very helpful video 👌🏻👌🏻, I have a doble yellow head Amazon that loves out 3 years old special need boy, but he attack my husband and me every day, we don't know what to do, and last night I went to ER because my baby fell from the high chair , I was putting him there and the parrot flew over me and attacked me. 😪 we are in a very difficult situation

Hello Almy, did you take your Amazon to an Avian Vet

[@doviemeh]

I have a double yellow head amazon and they are very territorial and aggressive birds. They fell in love to one person and hate everyone else. What I did to stop this kind of behavior was to slowly introduce other family members by letting them give his favorite food (pumpkin seeds, ice cream made of coconut milk, bread etc) my amazon bird love sweet stuff so as much as he hate the other person his love for his treats is more. Slowly he learned to trust other people as he knows if this person come near him he gets special treats. He do still bites here and there but no more attacks. Also, it helps if you take your bird to the vet and have them trim his beak and claws just for a precaution. Hope this help.

I have been watching hormonal videos. I have a macaw and he has been pulling his feathers in the same spot. He was seen by a vet and ultimately stopped. He has started again in the same area. I am not sure of what to do 😢

I encourage you to get some diagnostics done. CT scan and skin biopsies are particularly illuminating. On my podcast episodes with dr. Scott Echols you'll hear about these. Avian Behavior Podcast
