My
started going through sexual maturity a few years ago. I was still in the process of taming him from his previous, poorly educated home, so I didn't notice a huge change in aggressiveness. However, I did notice him suddenly trying to mate with everything in his cage.Then one day, after standing on top of his cage for a couple minutes, he looked at me and said "I love you!" I repeated it back to him, we made kissy noises back and forth, and then he started repeating "Come 'er!!!" I had been trying to train him to use phrases correctly, so I went over and picked him up. He immediately fluffed up and started preening my eyebrows, face, and all the while continued to say "I love you!" and his cutest-thing-ever "kith! Kith!" (he can't say the "s" in kiss"). After a few minutes of this and me thinking that this is a delightful turn for the better in my somewhat aggressive rescue, he suddenly climbs into my head and starts trying to mate the side of my forehead.
It was awkward. I took him off, put him back in his cage, and contemplated the fact that my parrot is quite the pick-up artist.
