I had two budgies(they've both passed on a few years ago). There was a girl named Baby, full name Baby C. Puffbutt. Aka Babes, buttonball, Feathery Ping Pong Ball(She liked going back and forth across the living room. Silly bab), Miss Von Floofndale, or Poof). The other was a boy named Kiwi, full name Kiwi T. Fuzzyface. Aka Kiwi bird, fuzzbutt, wee turd machine, fluffyfu*k(thanks, step-dad), 'Fro Hunter (from my brother. He had...a LOT of hair)or Sir Nomsalot. We liked to get creative sometimes.

These birbs have some rockin’ names! They certainly sound like they were some very mischievous, well-loved troublemakers!

My boyfriend and I have been around his mother's Jardine and Canary-Winged parrot for a while(The Jardine isn't the issues today). Her name is Kidd. She used to be very friendly and loving, always liked hanging out with us and being snuggly. Although due to housemate issues, the birds had to be moved to another room so that the housemate in question doesn't mess with them. For the last weekish, she's been biting everyone. Thought it was due to her molting, but there are no pinfeathers. Thoughts?

Could really be a number of things, change of environment can upset them, hormone instability, unfamiliarity with new people, unable to sleep in the new environment, sudden change of routine, mishandling, general change of tone in the household, could still be moulting but more just dry skin or feathers on the verge of coming out as well.  As long as you’re able to read their body language and try to adjust accordingly the cause will usually become more clear.  By reading things such as if they’re upset all the time, only upset with the presence of people, upset with certain activity levels, certain times of the day and others can help to narrow down the cause of the aggression so you can start to work and eliminating the need to aggress.

Most aggression related things will be found in the /resources page or /tagged/aggression+ask
