Did you hand feed your bird when it was young?
Are you spending too little time with your pet?
Is your bird aggressive only towards other people?
Did you adopted an older bird?
Did your bird recently entered adolescence?
Fear often develops in pet birds that were not hand-fed when they were young. Frightful birds show aggression as a means to defend themself. Avoid raising your voice in its presence, offer it treats, and speak in a soothing voice when you're trying to handle it. Make time to work with your bird at least once a day to ensure success.
A lack of proper socialization may lead a bird to be afraid of humans, other birds, or new experiences. Frightful birds show aggression as a means to defend themself. Offer your bird treats and speak in a soothing voice when you're trying to handle it. Make time to work with your bird at least once a day to ensure success.
Some birds become jealous when their owner interacts with other people. This plays on the natural "pair-bonding" instinct many bird species have and, in captivity, you may be seen as your bird's partner. Try to better socialize your bird and show it that other people are not a threat to the relationship it has with you. For example, have visitors offer your bird a treat and praise it in a happy, upbeat voice whenever they enter the house.
If you adopted an older bird, it's possible that it was mistreated or neglected in some way by its previous owner. Avoid raising your voice in its presence, offer it treats, and speak in a soothing voice when you're trying to handle it. Make time to work with your bird at least once a day to ensure success.
Some birds become aggressive during their adolescence due to hormone changes. This will typically pass once the bird gets through this stage.
Most birds are territorial animals. Protecting their claimed territory, such as the birdcage or feeder, can lead to aggression. If possible, move your bird's cage to a neutral location during training sessions. Removing a bird from its "territory" can sometimes make it more willing to cooperate with its owner and prevent any territorial aggression.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
