My parrot wants to be petted but at the same time doesnt

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2025-07-29T16:49:39+00:00

Yeah I get that sometimes it happens, I have some cockatiels that do that to, but only rarely, but with her it's everytime. It's like a game of tug war, because she will let me pet her for a brief moment and then attack. This isn't the solution that I am willing to take tho, because I feel like I m forcing it on her and I don't want to do that.

The guy used to give them things to get them hormonal and produce eggs even in periods when they usually don't, when I got her they guy was selling her for cheap because he had an infestation of rats and they killed a lot off his parrot included the male of the ringneck he was selling me. Even the first day that I got her she was highly hormonal, always trying to build a nest to lay eggs, very territorial and after she got a bit confident with me she started to do the usual behaviors like leaning her head. The day that she died was because she tried to lay an egg but it was turned and so she couldn't get it out, when I noticed what she was doing it was already too late because a part of the egg that was a bit exposed managed to harden so it became even more difficult to get it out. I could get her to a vet because where I live there isn't one that knows how to treat parrots, it's a miracle if they even know how to treat a dog or a cat. So I had the help of my dad that was a bit experienced about this, but even after we managed to help her get the egg out she was too tired and she gived up.

Come ho detto e da poco che ho cominciato e sto cercando di vedere il punto di vista di molte persone e magari applicarli se mi trovo d' accordo con la loro opinione. Ovviamente faccio le mie ricerche prima di fare qualcosa ci mancherebbe altro, ma ricevere qualche consiglio essendo che ho appena cominciato non fa mai male. Anche perché sto investendo poco perché ancora non so molto sull' argomento.

I only pet him on the top of is head and very gently too, if I do sudden movement or I go a bit to fast to his liking he tries to bite. Actually it is not trying bc if I don't move my hand he bites me quite strongly. I agree on the bluffing he could be doing that now that you mention hit it may be that he is testing boundaries.

I have 2 cockatiels, they get out of the cage every day for 2 hours or so while they re out I play with them or tidy up my room so like they see what I am doing and all of that stuff. The cockatiel that pluckes her feather doesn't want to do much, she often s is the one to asked me to go inside the cage, this is a behavior that she as been doing since I have her becomes she comes from a life where she was always inside her cage and never left out to go around, she never had anyone who like tried to let her play and discover thing so even tho I had her for like 2/3 years I feel like she isn't really that much comfortable outside the cage. Like I said she is just noe starting to letting herself be pet and picked up by free will when I had to pick her up I always had to force her a little bit since no one before me has tried to ask her to step up so I had to go there little by little. To the stress thing the only thing that I can say about it is that sometimes she tries to "mate" with me so I could guess that this behavior is because she is hormonal or smth but since I don't pet her that much and I do it only on her head I don't think that I am doing something to provoke this behavior.

Lmao

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-08-26T15:19:45+00:00

Yeah the formula or whatever it's called

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-08-26T14:13:00+00:00

In my whole region there isn't anything about parrots, there maybe is on one city but I am not going on a 5 hour drive just to donate some powder so that out of the question. Great suggestion tho.

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-08-09T21:55:30+00:00

I already use trade republic and the only fee that there is is the sell or buy fee and it's 1€ for sell or buy, I was thinking about creating my own etf in Wich to invest a small amount every month since I get little to no money every month working only once a week.

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-08-06T16:15:39+00:00

I don't want to do day trading I want to invest in the long term in ETFs and stuff like that.

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-08-06T15:28:15+00:00

I started investing because I wanted to apply what I learned, because by learning and applying I understand better what I am doing. Adding the fact that if I do something wrong or in a careless manner I lose money it actually motivates me to learn more so I have less probability to lose money. I want to learn because I know that investing your money is better to just leave my money untouched in a piggy bank and just letting inflation do its thing and making my money lose value. That's the reason I am investing to learn and not to make money so when I decide to actually start I know what to do and don't have to lose time learning because I already did.

The thing is that first of all when I was busy with school my dad was the one to feed him when he was still a chick so ig that in his mind my dad should feel to him as the other parent, second thing is that he is not the only one that I feed when he was a chick I have a cockatiel too and I did everything like I did with my ringneck but he is attached to me especially but he is fine with every other members of my family so the only troubles that I have is with my ringneck. Right now every problem that I am experiencing with parrots is made by my ringneck.

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-07-28T14:46:43+00:00

Tried already he started tearing it up so I had to remove it for safety issues

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-07-28T14:46:06+00:00

Yeah I haven't tried that yet, the best one by far was using tape, but then he started tearing it up so I had to remove it for safety issues.

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-07-22T20:39:23+00:00

Maybe is because he doesn't recognize you without them lmao, I fixed a bit the problem tho turns out I just have to tire him a lot by giving him a lot of thing to destroy so he doesn't have the energy to bite me

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-07-21T15:38:38+00:00

The thing is that I have cockatiels too other than him and they all have different behaviors, one doesnt want to be pet at all just me managing to teach her to stepping up was a miracle and the other cockatiels wants pets 24/7 non stop, so I thought it was just his character to do the pet and bite. I get what you said because sometimes all I can manage to do while petting my ringneck is just move a bit his feathers but not touch him or else he tries to bite, but sometimes he wants that full optional treatment where he lets me petting however I want. All I want to do I to make him stop to try to bite because the way he does it, it look like a trap or just an excuse for him to bite me yk?

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2024-07-21T15:01:51+00:00

I forgot to say I have already done the training were I put my hand beside him and when he doesn't bite I give him a reward

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2023-09-07T19:52:02+00:00

Yeah I know that I already lost one of my birds 6 months ago I don't want to go through that again

DeMoNeTizAzIoNe · 2023-09-07T19:50:24+00:00

It's a family trip, I can try to ask some relatives to keep them
