Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / May 2005deadly cockateil
I have a cockateil and have had it for some time. It has been very nice to me for atleast two years...I mean like let me scratch his head kiss him and whatnot but for a few weeks now he has been agressive such as he will just be hanging out and I will get up to get him or give him a millet spray and he runs out and takes flight, beak open and he just flys straight for me or my head so naturally I duck to get away and he lands on me so I stand up straight and he then attacks my ear so I shosh him off using my shirt as a beak bite softener and put him in his cage to punish him and I have been doing this over and over but it is not stopping him from attacking me. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice? "The world is the property of Everyone, if we just had the sense to Know it! We have our feet stuck in mud, and our eyes on the stars."

I think I've discovered why. Does your cockatiel have a 'mating' toy at all? Or does he go into small dark places? My cockatiel mates with a soft toy sheep, then he goes under a unit and whenever I go near it he runs out and attacks me he'll fly up and bite my face or try to get to any bit of bare skin! He bites really really hard. I think it must be hormones or to do with mating season or something. I'm afraid I haven't found a solution yet, I've tried to take away the soft toy and cover up any 'dark' spaces under units..it seems to work for a short time. My cockatiel was also extremely friendly until he turned nasty 3 years ago! >I have a cockateil and have had it for some time.

Any advice? 1: Duck quicker 2: Stop punishing 3: Get it a friend TRC Yes he does have a mating toy it is just a soft yellow pillow and he does back up into a dark corner. To TRC: He has a friend but it is a bunny but he also has a canary freind. I am suppost to get bitten and just walk away? It is not like I hit him or anything. I just put him in his cage. >> Hi, >> My male cockatiel does exactly the same thing.

Have a chew toy inhand, and put it in its way of biting you, I would also put a perch and toys(a mirror) on top of the cage and put the bird there instead of inside. By friend I meant a tiel, preferably of the opposite sex. TRC |
