How Do I Handle My Amazon’s Hormonal Behavior?

Last Updated on by Mitch Rezman

Hello,

My male Amazon parrot who I’ve had for 30 years goes out of his way to attack my wife but not myself even though I grab him with gloved hands when he misbehaves.

My wife provides him only kindness.

Can you tell me why he does this and how I can correct it?

Do you sell training clickers and training treats for him?

Also, he has a Prevue cage but the bottom tray is rusting out and I need to replace it.

The rest of the cage is fine. Do you know where I can purchase a bottom tray?

Hi Andrew
​
​That’s typical jealousy behavior for an amazon.

​​Light therapy can be effective for negative hormonal behavior.

​
​Gloved hands can stress birds.

​Try using a perch or broom which is more natural for the bird the “friendly stick”.

For the record

I don’t really want to ask things.

 

I just wanted to say how adorable my budgies are!

 

If anyone out there needs answers I may have them.

 

Budgies are social, so I recommend having more than one in the cage.

 

That’s all!
