Is your parrot hormonal? How to know and what to do

[@sheridanavery5457]

i have a male Amazon yellow nape parrot that i got as a baby. he is now 45 years old. he eats a Henderson cube diet and and human food off my plate. he is a gourmet bird. he became sexually mature at 4/5 years old. it took us 2 years of working it out together before before we began to understand each other’s needs. when he gets horney he masterbates my shoes with my feet together. it doesn’t take long and he is satisfied. our relationship is perfect now and he doesn’t have hardly any hormonal episodes. at his 5th thru his 7th year i did get bitten a lot.

Do you have videos where you talk about what to feed and what it looks like?

Hello Almy, did you take your Amazon to an Avian Vet

[@doviemeh]

I have a double yellow head amazon and they are very territorial and aggressive birds. They fell in love to one person and hate everyone else. What I did to stop this kind of behavior was to slowly introduce other family members by letting them give his favorite food (pumpkin seeds, ice cream made of coconut milk, bread etc) my amazon bird love sweet stuff so as much as he hate the other person his love for his treats is more. Slowly he learned to trust other people as he knows if this person come near him he gets special treats. He do still bites here and there but no more attacks. Also, it helps if you take your bird to the vet and have them trim his beak and claws just for a precaution. Hope this help.

I have been watching hormonal videos. I have a macaw and he has been pulling his feathers in the same spot. He was seen by a vet and ultimately stopped. He has started again in the same area. I am not sure of what to do 😢

I encourage you to get some diagnostics done. CT scan and skin biopsies are particularly illuminating. On my podcast episodes with dr. Scott Echols you'll hear about these. Avian Behavior Podcast
