One of the things that constantly amazes me is how there never seem to be any aggression problems between species with your birds (e.g. Cressie and Blueberry). How do you do that!? By the way, love the shows. I'm learning so much. Thank you.

John E Rice

Oh, quick question please. Are there any species that are known to be less ruled by their hormones when it's mating season? Are males or females better at handling hormone season?

Blueberry is tiny, I have not really introduced him to any of the other birds where something could happen to him.

Depends on the species for sure - in cockatoos, males are MUCH worse (we have little hormone related issues with Bondi in comparison) male amazons are pretty bad as well vs females. With budgies it depends - females are more nesty and beaky, and vocal. I find it fairly equal with greys but as you can see Cressi is a handful! With macaws, I've found more major issues in females regarding hormones while the males seem to be much better (unless it's the military macaws, then the males are the worst!) so kinda all over the board, honestly.

Great video. Got to see more about handling a hormonal bird as well as the glove training. 👍 Does your Vet wear gloves when examining Cressi? And does skin tight vs loose gloves make any difference? Anxious to see the next "Oh Flock". 😃 P.S. I love your Horrormoans traing vid too. It's a great resource. Fred my Goffin's Too is always "nesty" and I mean always.

Our vets have not used gloves, no. But I use these blue ones when cleaning the aviaries and I use fabric ones when on flight trips sometimes.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I'm considering adoption. I've had birds since I was very young for over 40yrs. About 2 yrs ago (has it been that long already?!) my Senegal parrot "Chicklet" got out of the house and flew away. Since then I've lived alone in the house I was raised in. I have nothing but empty space and I work from home. So other than Mass on Sundays and bible study on Tuesday nights I literally don't need to go out. I have my groceries delivered and do all my shopping online. I very much need a companion animal and am seriously thinking about adopting a Congo African Grey. No kids, no dogs, nothing but time and attention to give. Been told I'm a patient man. Must be an age thing! 😉

Where are you located? I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, single mom, who asked me to take her grey as a project bird but it will need a home afterwards and has an extensive vocabulary.

I'm about 25 miles due south of Chicago right off of a major expressway. I really don't need him/her to be able to "do" anything, but I think that's great! I won't be in a position to provide his/her "forever home" for awhile yet, so there's certainly no rush. I will need to purchase a suitable cage, perch, emergency med kit, etc. and I've already begun building up my inventory of toys (I have a monthly subscription from your website and just received my first shipment two weeks ago). I will also need time to "parrot-proof" my house, to make sure that there's is nothing in the house that represents a danger or an attractive nuisance to the bird. But yes, I'd agree that there's certainly a possibility that things could work out well in the end. The main hurdle to be overcome would be getting the bird here using whatever means necessary that involves the least amount of stress to the bird as possible. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up prematurely but from what I know so far there's certainly a possibility that things could wo out well . Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
