skittle the senegal

Postby viki » Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:47 am

Well iv been talking a lot about Skittles and the problems wev faced with him and just now while thinking about him i realised that last time we visited the breeder we were told he was 2 years old and he was living with someone one else "for taming purposes". So now im thinking mayb hes so aggressive because he misses the person he bonded with and wants him back. we know it was a he because he hates women a lot more then men and because once when he said hello he sounded so much like a man we lookeed around the room to see who had just come in (it was creepy and funny :D).
So if this is the case is there anything we can do? And since he hates women so much what can we do about that? Im sure hes first owners must have given him up because of aggression because hes so aggessive and also the breeder would have told us if it was just the owner was ill because he introduced us to other birds who wer rehomes and told us why each one was.

No, he is aggressive because he is 2years old- puberty. Birds at puberty become aggressive and a pain, but the phase does pass fortunately. Be patient and it will pass.

Just because he likes women, does NOT mean Skittles is a boy. There are tons of female birds out there who hate men, and male birds who don't like women.
