Do you think that diet also plays a role in aggressive behaviors in birds?
oh yeah absolutely! Nutritional imbalances cause all sorts of different activity in the brain and most foods have a direct effect on the sorts of hormones released (ex. sugar releases dopamine) which changes behaviour. Lacking certain vitamins in a diet is known to increase irritability which would cause a significant spike in aggressive outbursts!

Do birds experience humor? You said they freak people out because they know it'll be funny, and I know a lot of people who say their parrot mimics noises so their human is alerted?
I wouldnât necessarily say humour but in a sense I guess sort of? Birds will try to elicit behaviours from people that they find entertaining in some way which I guess is humour so, yes?Â
Most animals will do things that they find fun, birds just apply that to other animals in their environment. When it comes to mimicking noises to alert people itâs doing something that elicits a desired behaviour from the person, making a phone ring to get the human to come in, shouting to get the person to shout back and things like that. Theyâre very rapid learners so as soon as they see that something they did made you do something entertaining theyâll end up repeating the behaviour. A lot of animals do similar things, cats may meow non stop until they get attention, they all train people in one way or another to produce desired reactions.
Is the instinct to throwing things on the ground a play thing? Or is there some sort of advantage to doing so?
Itâs largely just for play, many birds find the sounds amusing or find enrichment in watching their human come to pick up the toy bits. Many birds end up throwing things as an alternative to attention screaming, âif I throw this my human will come playâ. The initial act of breaking things apart is a mix of the need for nesting materials, the natural instinct to chew to find food (breaking branches to get to the good fruit, crush the shells to eat a nut), and the need to keep beaks trimmed. Some species break branches and use them to hit logs as a display for the females which is where sound can end up playing a role in more natural behaviours. But throwing itself is generally just for amusement, watching things âgo boomâ is fun, even human babies tend to enjoy making their toys fall down (throwing things down stairs, toppling brick towers).
My too when he eats he throws his food out of the cage and just wastes alot of it. Why does he do that?
Most of the time itâs just because itâs fun, either the activity is amusing or the sounds are entertaining. Sometimes it can also be a problem with uncompleted conversions, if this was a newer food they could have regressed a bit and not want to be eating it, if this is the same food they always get they could be bored of it so presenting the food in a new way or trying a different brand may help the issue. Otherwise the general fix is to just get a dish cover or put something against the wall so the food at least stays contained within the cage. If theyâre doing this for fun you may want to take food out of the cage when they start doing day (preferably before if you know they arenât going to be eating for a while) and try offering a different dish with toy parts they can chuck around instead.
Hi, I came across this video on youtube /watch?v=aJzhqkTMJ7M , and I'm curious, can you tell what exactly is going on there?
The amount of sheathe dust on the back of this birdâs head suggests that they do have quite a few pin feathers growing in that we may not be able to see (lower half still filled with blood, some under the surface). In this circumstance it seems likely that the bird had several sore blood feathers touched which hurt and caused them to present signs of discomfort, and defensively oriented aggression. As the person continued to touch sore feathers the bird begins to associated the hand with the pain it felt at that time and starts to present more fearful and defensive body language whenever the hand shows up. Eventually the bird becomes so discomforted by the hand that they stop allowing it to touch under the beak, and become aggressive when it touches them in general or for too long.Â
This is somewhat normal to a degree, when you touch a sore feather or cause a bird to experience pain or distress in some way they will develop negative associations with you and want to be left alone. When the bird bows and squeals itâs possible that they were still in pain from the sore feather and didnât know how to stop it so they asked for help, it could have also been bluffing (which seems less likely in this situation) where the bird asks for scritches just so you can come closer to produce a reaction out of you. The other possibility here is that there were hormones involved, this bird may have been in the breeding sort of mood and wanted touch but was also experiencing heightened aggression that caused them to lash out.
 What should have been done, however, is this individual should have stopped touching the bird when the sore feather was stricken until the bird stopped squealing and was calm again so that the bird would would be comfortable and no longer associating the hand with the negative experience. It is normal for birds to present defensive behaviours when youâve touched a sore feather, you just hurt them and they would now like to be left alone, in these situations the correct reaction is to back off, let them calm down and decide when they would like that sort of interaction with you again.
This video demonstrates an individual pushing past the birdâs discomforted body language and vocalizations, the bird was still compliant since the experience wasnât negative enough and they likely get a positive reward out of the scritches but they were uncomfortable and that shouldnât have been ignored. The very last scene is the bird attacking the hand in a much more aggressive manner, beak open prior to presentation, wings out, head low, tail flaring. This bird did just want to be left alone by the end of this which is a further indication that body language had been ignored and they werenât putting up with that anymore.
note: a sore pin feather is not the only cause for this issue, it was just easier to write one thing than writing all possibilities over and over, this could have also been a general mistrust for the hand, something hormonal causing heightened irritability, or some other injury

Hi courtney! I tried sending you a link a day or two ago but never got a response. If you donât mind answering, I was wondering if you knew what he is doing in this video?
He appears to be doing nothing more than simply looking around. Stretching up tall can be due to things that are scary, new, interesting or objects which he canât quite see without standing. Â Itâs possible the camera may be interesting and he may be trying to check it out or if something else moved he might be looking at that to make sure the scary thing doesnât move again. Â Just a curious bird being curious!
Have you seen the video of a black faced lovebird "tap dancing" with irish music? don't know how much you know about lovebirds, but I was wondering if this is some sort of mating behavior and if its one of those cute but not good things?
Iâd covered this in the past but canât locate the original time I did it but, yes, this is one of those instances. Â
Lovebirds do this behaviour in a few circumstances and the meaning can vary a bit from bird to bird, in general this will be an aggressive display of some sort. This is further supported when you find the video that gif is from which later shows the bird striking the camera, a direct aggressive outburst. Â With this particular bird it could be that they see their reflection in the camera, do not like the camera, feel that the bag theyâre in is their nesting site and want to defend it, the crinkling of bags often stimulates aggressive responses as well, since they were facing away the camera could have warped in the corner of their eye and startled them or there could be another reason that we canât see from our side of the footage. Â Either way this is an aggressive, upset bird presenting a behaviour we donât want to encourage!
southislandwren said: Whatâs crop adjustment?
The crop is a sort of sac where food is first stored before travelling through the rest of the digestive system, since whole foods end up in there without much in the way of digesting it can sometimes end up feeling uncomfortable or tight so they stretch around to move the food and make it more comfortable and pass easily. Â Excessively adjusting their crops can be an indication of crop compactions, materials have compacted in the crop and canât be passed easily, but typically itâs just a matter of them moving things around or needing a drink to help loosen things up.
