@Michelle Meade & @Birdtricks - I've been bummed lately because my (approximately 8 to 9 month old) budgie has been biting me for the past few months and sometimes getting aggressive with my hand. I've had him almost 7 months now. This is a new behavior that started about 2 months ago. His bite doesn't hurt, but I want it to stop. I don't want him biting my grand children who love him dearly. I got him from a pet store so I've had to tame him myself. He spent the majority of the first few months mostly cage bound because he was so scared to come out of his cage. That's his "safe space." Now, he'll come out and explore close to his cage and spend some time outside of it. I don't know whether this new aggression is hormonal or if it's boredom or if he's just a grump. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Exactly, we breed too notch German shepherds for law enforcement, SAR and service dogs. My dogs are very well trained. They do occasionally go off the rails. They are always sensitive to weather, seasonal and earth magnetic changes. Currently, we are seeing herd migration out here in West. We are waiting on the big one …..earthquake. Animals are moving from west to east. They predict sometime June the quake will hit along the Cascade Zone. We have been trying to prepare several years now. Pray it will not be massive. This is expected to set off Yellowstone. When Mt St Helen blew her top in 80’s the devastation was unbelievable. The area to this day…..look’s like a bomb went off.

I’ve had an African grey since he was 6 months old , he’s 26 this year ! All I can say is they can change just like but you have to tell him to be nice or step up . Mine likes being sung to also they are super intelligent so colour blocks and different objects expand the mind . Play games ie ; tell him the shape and colours of different shaped wood toys then ask him to pick a shape you ask for . Get him to focus on nice things then he will be very happy as he’s using him mind more then aggression will stop 🇬🇧🇬🇧xx

My Grey does a similar click sound when he's angry. It's my que to stop and pay attention to his body language and what I'm doing that is causing the aggression. I've been super successul and have not been bitten in the last 2 years. He was a rehome that I bought from an lady that had an impulse buy and had no clue about parrots. He was kept in closet for nearly the entire time she had him and he was afraid of most everything. With lots of work and encouragment and now the sweetest most confident bird. He's not a talker but he knows his colors and shapes and does a wide range of sound effects.

Sorry Bean and you guys have had situational stress. But this was a great video of how adept you are at reading his body language. It makes me think about how good our domesticated companion like dogs and cats have become at reading human body language for the most part and what a gift that is for our bonding. They have to do most of the signal reading and are often very forgiving of our mistakes and inconsistencies. It also makes me think about being visually impaired as I am, a wild parrot would be even more of a challenge for me. If I had to hold a frustrated bird close enough to see raised back feathers, I would likely be close enough to be at risk for a bite. Thank you, Jamie, for your clear description and attention to camera work! As a person who cannot see the beauty of birds in trees but can mostly hear them, your videos educate and delight me. Using my iPad zoom feature lets me see little Bean/s wound and his raised feathers. Love all you and Dave do. And a hug to your getting-taller Capri because she is great with the bids too (and even I can tell she’s growing😂)

I’m really happy that you posted this video because my Amazon has a similar behavior that confused and frustrated the life out of me. He’d come over for heard scratches which is all cool but then if he’s asking and I ignore him he’d keep begging and eventually he takes the hint and moves on. Butttt their are times where he gets pissed off and his back feathers raises up as well and his body language gets super heavy and it feels like he’s saying make the wrong move and I’ll eff you up .. at which point I’ll get him off my hands and have him chill out. But just seeing bean do the same demonic trance behavior that my Amazon does and seeing how you worked thru it is comforting because I do the same .. I’ve recognized he does it when he’s going thru a molt or maybe he didn’t sleep well etc. but sometimes it just happens if he gets extra excited ( or at least what I think is excited) and that’s the part that I’m struggling to read

Never compare amazon behaviour with african grey behaviour. They are quite different. Amazons have this amazing tailflare for example. But humans responses.. not bad :) My african grey was living beside 2 amazons for a few years, so he 'spoke' amazonian to me when he moved in here. I did not understand him! (He was my 3rd african grey at that time, I grew up with my first.)

I always hear the birds who do that …who were taught “kisses” every time their former owners had them step up (often very attentive adoring Children who outgrow them and trade in their relationships for relationships with other humans paying less and less attention to them… or they got ditched in a breakup and the person who PAID for the bird, rather than the one who the bird preferred got “custody” and the bird becomes a possession, then an annoyance. I think it was part of their “ritual” with a human…it’s the sound of kisses… it’s attachment Human/Bird ritual communication for affection… and part of their attachment rituals with his former humans, I bet. He can love you and be trying to adapt …but still struggle with the extreme FRUSTRATION he feels at not being able to “attach or interact in a way HE understands” from a whole lifetime of communication with other humans…so he is like “WTF is going on …this human doesn’t act right” … Even when he has been “abandoned” …to a terrific situation by pretty terrific (if not perfect-who is?) former owners. Love Bean! and You! and Your Mini-Me!! I feel like he misses Kisses! And is being aggressive - but you are for sure doing all the right stuff…except maybe letting it go on too long to get it for the camera. That feels some kind a way to my heart. But I know it’s temporary. But it’s fun watching him learn how to Bird with You. And of course he misses his people and grief is normal and I hear his heart!! If you could make a 3 second TIK TOK Video of just the segment from this one of you looking DIRECTLY into the camera and saying “There is ONLY so much ‘Petting’ that is GOOD for Birds” and his “bite” and just have it repeat over and over and over…that would be awesome!

My grey used to click for different reasons. Sometimes it was positive (as a greeting or just before a treat) and sometimes negative (if it was something he was scared off he's growl and click and the hackles would go up.) I'd have to read his body language to tell the difference between the two.

Three things...... 1) That wasn't a bite. It's what I call an "admonishment chomp". They're not given to injure but rather to express displeasure or in an attempt to establish a little better positioning in the "pecking order". 2) That looks like a small, not too deep, puncture.....so, just keep an eye out for infection or abscess formation. 3) Although the injury doesn't look too bad or deep, it is where the main muscle mass that moves the upper beak is situated so chewing and manipulation might be a bit sore going for ol' Bean. Consider making up a little special food that requires no chewing and can be fed in "beads" from a 10cc syringe. Hot, cooked oatmeal A jar of veggie or fruit baby food A dollop of smooth peanut butter Put all ingredients into a blender and puree adding hot water until it the consistency of Portland cement or brownie mix. This was a staple for my assorted birds as a wonderful source of extra calories and bonding, (I found I could even add baby food that had meat as well). Also......I'd do a careful inspection of that outdoor aviary looking for broken wires or exposed nails, screws and fasteners, since that does look like puncture injury. Now, I don't know what other birds were in that aviary, so, it is possible it was inflicted by another bird, (which might be the reason he was hanging from the roof throughout the night), but, you can better assess that.

So, he is growing up? Putting his foot down (a lot) One of my greys (male) can sit for scritches for hours! (Unfortunately also does not bother to move aside for pooping during those sessions any more, so I have to time them ;) ) The other one (female) has a 2-minute maximum, but will come back for encores. But yes, they will use the head down, chin tucked in as a threat-display, NOT an invitation to cuddles. Usually they will have the head real high and tucked in, cuddles-position is more of a relaxed 'faceplant'. Easy to see the difference by looking at the eyes (looking, not staring, or you will get into trouble): they will stare at you/ your hand if they are not in the mood for any nonsense, If they want scritches the eyes 'lose focus': sort of bliss-out even before it happens. And of course the breathing is a dead-give-away, they do tense up.

Amazon has pretty good night feed cameras and run on batteries too with cloud upload in wifi areas and card upload if not. Even opening an online feed so ppl can watch your birds whenever they’re having a hard day would be pretty cool and you can show training in real time so it’s not as much instruction from you but I think we could still learn a lot from that :-)

He seems hormonal and/or anxious which leads to bites and other behaviors that are not 'normal', grays are roughnecks and like to 'fight ' things which may have caused Bean's injury. I agree with less head scritches since it seems to make it worse especially when they are hormonal. I rescued an African Gray that was kept caged for 15 yrs with the last 2 years being covered up. He came to me very, very angry and would throw his whole body at the cage when anyone approached. I completely understand what you are explaining when you say Bean acts 'angry', my gray will rip the treat out of your hand and throw it sometimes a few feet away particularly in the morning so I joke that he's not a morning bird. My gray also makes the clicking sound or a raspberry sound when he is unhappy, it is purposeful and should be heeded, their body language is pretty easy to read but they can also trick you since the can flip their head upside down extremely fast. Grays are extremely intelligent and keeping them in a cage covered up is extremely cruel and very traumatizing to them. I've gotten bitten so many times often drawing blood but I keep trying to work with him scritching him on his head is when the bites happen. He doesn't step up and the problem is he is deathly afraid of anything shaped like a stick so trying to get him to step up can lead to bites. I tried using gloves but most birds are afraid of them and getting bitten is really painful so the progress has been slow. Good luck with Bean, I know that it can be painful but don't give up on him.

I'm no expert, but his face may have an abscess, it looked a little swollen under the cut. It could be the camera angle too. You are so hyper aware of all your birds. Love this channel ❤

Unfortunately people have tried to domesticate wild birds but parrots in particular are wanting a mate for life and a familiar environment and routine. Keeping all that in mind and and the intelligence level has helped me with my umbrella cockatoo

Hi from Cape Town South Africa. I have a male grey 8 years old hand hatched and raised.. for 4 years I wasn't able to be with him because I got married but he stayed with my grandmother in the house he grew up in. I've had him since 3 months old. Since last year I stopped clipping wings when I learnt about free flight.. yesterday he pulled out 8 of his long wing feathers. 4 were previously cut and 4 were new. There was blood on the "root". I want to know why sometimes he bites really hard.. also when he is on my lap or arm and he asked for head scratches I rub down his neck to his back just above his oil gland and then he fluffs up and prunes his feathers while im rubbing his back... I remembered this when you said "fluffing up body feathers is a sign of eff you" so I'm confused... The past year I have been trying to get him used to my 5yo son and 2y6m ok daughter allowing them to feed him sunflower seeds... It's the only time he gets to have them is out of their hands and so far not biting... He even trusts my son to pick him up off the floor ... But not my daughter.... Sorry for replying so late. I recently came across your channel and would love to be more educated on my grey for behaviour and diet. And learn about BG macaws to hopefully get a pair in the future as I've read BG macaws are less biting that RY macaws... Your channel is amazing and I enjoy binge watching the videos here...

Considering the time of year it is, do you think he is hormonal? My male g2 has been a little wonky too.
