I caught a moment of Supreme Bird Doofus'ry for you all. Serra and Blue have communal treat time. Serra carried off one of the nutriberries, even though Blue won't touch them. She then proceeded to hiss at him, while he slept, trying to get her nutriberry. Once she finally tried it, she became terrified of everything and...fought the nutriberry? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLGdWzrunUo

Pinto and Peanut are both the most aggressive they've ever been in our years together. The sudden biting out of nowhere is really taking a toll. They'll be nice, stepping up, doing their normal tricks and whistles and interactions, then an aggressive stance and chomp out of nowhere. We try not to react to not reinforce the behavior but man. Mrs Cookies and I don't really know what has gone wrong here. I know a lot of things can lead to more aggressive behaviors and I feel like we've checked off most of them. Any weird things happen to make any of your birds more aggressive than normal? Or maybe we've missed something. What's your checklist for things contributing to aggression?

Maybe but this year is so much worse than every other year. They're about 7 years old now so I wouldn't think they'd be as bad as their 2/3 years. But holy poo poo they are terrible

I would immediately say hormones. There's not always much rhyme or reason to it. Old Man Blue is going through his worst molt ever, and it coming up on nine years old. Bird's are just weird.

I know Sera and Ozzy are both super broody and inclined to fighting at the drop of a hat. Spring is rough.

Yay, today is Serra and Blue's yearly vet-visit! Which means wrangling them into a Chevy Spark, while my right hand was sliced open in two places for surgery a few weeks ago, then driving forty-five minutes. Ooooh Boy, they are going to be so adorably fat and sassy.

I want to know everything, and I mean everything, about these adorable little Borbin's. You cannot post enough about them. Are you just going to become victim to the cutest infestation ever recorded on planet earth, eventually living with thirty plus of these Disney Parrots? ------------ Vet visit went great! Had the vet bring in a young student with Serra, wanting her to, "See an example of the largest, healthiest cockatiel he's ever seen." I don't think he was saying Serra was the healthiest by herself, but the healthiest while being the largest. He told me he wished I would breed her, just so her genes could get out into the pool.
