my bf amazon, pepe, hates all men. he has jumped from his cage to attack my husband and displays aggression if they approuch his cage. my husband gives him treats and sweet talks him but so far no change. any ideas?

try getting him away from the cage.if he's bonded with you then you have to tell him no when he goes for your husband. i had the same problem with my she would try to chase me away from my boyfriend when i was in the room with him as soon as he told her no she stopped.

Rambo was the worst. No man could come in the house without being flogged. We had the advantage that he could not fly but it still scared everyone.

I had an old veteran friend who came for coffee everyday and to check on me. The old man could barely walk and did not have much feeling in his legs. Rambo laid into him every time he came in the door and all the time he was here. The man always wore long pants so he was never injured.
Rambo gave up. It got to the point that Rambo knew the sound of his truck and would announce "Harold's here".

I fostered a squirril who attached when upset. I used that method. Long sleeves, long pants and all the nerve I could muster. It worked. When he found he was not in control he became an obedient child until his release.

Warn men to cover up and gather their nerve. It works. Rambo now greets them at the door as if it was a woman coming to visit.

I hate to say it but the way Liz says to does work. My bird was bonded to me and would go after my husband [he did the treat thing to] He decided him and this bird were going to be friends [he took some bites] but he didnt give up. He eventualy won her over now she loves him. Try having him wear heavy sweatshirts
