Valerie H. expressed concern,
My Ducorps Cockatoo has become very aggressive with anyone and anything that gets near me. She has started biting me when my husband gets too close.Â
If I’m not in the room paying attention to her, she screams.

If she (a parrotlet) is sitting on my hand she will turn around and give me a good wallop. She attacks everyone in my family, biting their necks, and arms wherever she can. It is getting out of control.Â
I have a full spectrum light above her cage, and turned it off hoping it would help. Â I have reduced her hours of daylight and she is now getting 12 hrs of sleep.

I want to thank you for your advice on birdie exercise. Â
My ringneck was getting pretty noisy. He has a full spectrum lamp, lots of toys, and his own room.Â

I have a Parakeet. He’s very mean. I keep trying to Tame him and he killed his female Mates. It’s female partners and kill all the eggs and I just don’t know what to do with him

I have 2 male fully flighted cockatiels that will not let us handle them. They are bonded. How can I get them to let us handle them again?
Dear Elleen
Short answer. You can’t. Birds of a feather stick together and you have no feathers. Â
Long answer.
You can clip their wings, separate them into different cages, and plan to spend several hours with each of them individually in daily sessions in hopes to earn their trust and want to be with you.

Pat D. relates,
My GCC has started biting quite a bit.
I want to do light therapy with her.
Can I keep her cage in the living room and cover him at night or should she be moved to another room to sleep?
Nauman asks
I am messaging about a Green (African) ringneck male I recently bought from a pet shop (who said he is 6 months old ) however he has a clear ring not on the full neck but it’s there.
Anyways the first day he didn’t eat anything, the second day he’s started to eat the mix of seeds.
He’s not hand tamed and not aggressive unless you try to grab him (which is not what I’m am trying to do)
