BIRD BELL AGGRESSION FOR FREE

But he was not this way for the first six months he was here. He was raised in a home with 5 very young kids. I didn't laugh my husband never made a sound as he got bit I just walked over and took him back to his cage. Some secret part of me found it hillarious, I wont lie. I get the feeling he knows what he is doing and that was on purpose. He is smart enough to sweet talk my husband close. Saying 'come here, muah muah (kissing sounds)' over and over, my husband gave in and came over to him and Rosco attacked my husband. Telling me how good he was and how pretty he is. He was bitting at me and angry until we made it to the kitchen and then he behaved like an angel for five minutes. I made him get out of his cage last night. I did leave it all like that he knows its there I sat by him making it all so he could watch what I was doing. stuffed his favorite stuff in rolled newspaper and plain white paper, toilet paper rolls. I have tried the foraging, I had fun making all the little hiding places. Here are some links to information on the first trick I taught both my birds, the turnaround:

I use positive reinforcement training with my guys and I try to follow the techniques of Barbara Heidenreich (see Her parrot training DVDs are good and she also has some great information for free on her blog. The birds love doing it, it serves to deepen the bond of you with your bird. Do you have something like this? It gives you a place to centre your interactions with your bird that isn't their cage so they are less territorial.Д¤) if you are interested, consider doing some trick training with your bird. this site has some free ebooks to downloadДЈ) have an area to interact with your bird out of the cage like a birdie gym or a t-perch. With my guys this made the biggest difference to aggressive behaviour.Д¬heck out these links for more information: I haven't had a bite since I let them come to me to come out.Дў) aggressive behaviour can be minimised by increasing foraging opportunities for your bird (90% of their food should come from foraging). I used to get the occasional bite when I'd put my hand in the cage for them to come out. If he doesn't come, let him stay in there. Here are a few more ideas for you that might help:ДЎ) regarding cage aggression - don't stick your hand in the cage for him to come out, offer close to the door so that you're not encroaching on his territory. It is my belief that if you had a good relationship before, it is easier to get it back when these things happen.

Whenever you have something like this happen, it's time to take stock and look at what you can do to make his behaviour more how you want it to be. Your relationship with your IRN will evolve over time. I would also add try moving everything around in the cage, change the perch positions, etc. I cant find much info on older birds acting this way. He is extremely healthy His wings are clipped (we have ceiling fans in every room) and he had a vet check three weeks ago and everything was great. He has lots of toys he is fed very well mostly Harrison's pellets, 10% seed and fresh fruits and veggies. I have not changed anything other than taking the bell. His cage is still in the computer room and where I am 90% of the time. My heart is broken no one can get near his cage without being snapped at and this is not my bird! He is acting very protective of his cage and the only way i can get close is with a treat but he will not step up and growls and snaps hard when I ask him too.

I haven't been able to get him out of his cage since. After he stopped and seemed to calm down I tried to get him to step up and come out. I figured the bell had somehow made him angry. Two nights ago my husband was by his cage talking to me about work and Rosco just starts going bonkers and attacking and growling at his bell toy. I have always been able to get him out and he has been very close to me since day one. He has always been nippy at my husband if he tries to get him out usually he will just reach in the cage and ask him to step up and then he gets snapped at and my husband just calmly walks away. He is not a screamer and talks very well and usually spends all day with me. I have had him for about 6 months and he has always been very sweet to me letting me do anything I want with him, stepping up and behaving like a perfect gentleman. I am new here and I have been trying to understand what is going on with my boy.
