Comments for Parrot Behaviour

Sophia, 2 October 2025

I recently attained a Monk Parrot 🦜 who’s 15 years old from a friend. I have been doing all the feedings and maintaining of this bird. The behaviour towards me has been aggressive and he has bit me a few times already. However, my husband would approach the cage and the bird is fine allowing him to be picked up, scratch his head etc. I seemed to be getting all the poor treatments from my bird. 😀 Previously the bird was always around male figures during his life and any females he would attack. Is this bird a female? How can I make this bird like me? What can I do? Any suggestions? Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

I have a 15yr. old African Grey who's getting a habit of pecking on the bottom of its cage and won't stop until I open the door and run him up to the perches. What suggestions do you have to correct this habit?

My blue gold macaw who is 21 years old will not stop feeding his toys and becomes very aggressive if I try to remove them. Also, he does not relieve himself in the cage. He holds it in all night until I put him on his perch in the morning. Should I be concerned?

My blue fronted Amazon 1 year and 7 months old parrot frequently goes thru the motions of swallowing with his mouth open. Can this mean he is having swallowing issues, he usually does it after he eats his dry food.

I have a 20 year old umbrella cockatoo. Other than occasional bouts of feather plucking we haven't had any sustained behavior problems. I do have a question about her habit of sustained stoccato pecking of my husband's knee... Like woodpecker. It doesn't hurt but after 10 or 15 minutes it seems excessive. She only does it with him. She's primarily my bird (she always wants to hibernate down my shirt and has laid an egg there on occasion) but also goes to him and has never been aggressive to him. What does the pecking mean.
