Aggression?

Postby macbrush » Thu Jan 19, 2012 1:21 am

I noticed Spencer sometimes make his beaks sort of like falcon look, I don't know if that's a the right description. He does it in times like I am fixing the foraging toy to the cage while he's trying to grab it before I am done, or when I am slow on rewarding him. Does that mean he's threatening me? Is it normal for CAG?

Cheers

It just means that he wants you to move your hand so he can play with the toy right away :lol:

Thanks, I know what he wanted, but I am wondering whether its begging way or threatening way.

hey there, I would really suggest the book "The Parrot Problem Solver"
It took a long time before I bought it (my birdy doesnt have any problems thank you very much, lol) but out of a lack of parrot books at the local book store I did eventually buy it.
It deals very nicely and in detail with aggression in parrots, and I actually think its a book a person should read before aggression problems start to happen and not after... its really good, please buy it!

:-) sounds like he really loves the toys you give him
