torres has started to get really really noisey and keeps making this strange noise randomly throughout the day for about 10 mins of until we put her in a dark place to calm her down. its getting really annoying and i'm worried that there might be something wrong. in conjunction with that, torres has got really aggressive when we are doing certain things. like when i am drinking from a bottle, she's make that noise and fly clear across the other side of the room to attack the bottle and bite me. also with she see's us eating andthing she will fluff up and try and bite it and if she doesn't get any she bite our necks as we bring the food to our mouths . it really really hurts and it getting to the point where she's attacking guest's. heres a clip of the noise she makes. if anyone can shed some light that would be great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K7_WNgFQsM |

All mine make that noise Nikki its just an aggression sound, mine make the same sound when I put newspaper on the floor. shes probably hormonal at the moment which is why shes a bit aggressive towards you, and she could be shouting for a mate.the only thing I can say about the biting you when your are eating just dont let her out at that time. |

I'm afraid Torres is being a"spoiled brat" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: tuttut Seriously, Kev is right I think. Boo Boo gets like that now & again. It's a 'girl thing" giggle giggle 37 One thing we've found, if it gets too bad clip her wings nodding When they have to rely on you to get around they are much more docile smug Boo Boo is much more cocky & crabby now she's flighted drats |

That's Boo's normal behavior every time I walk up to her cage (being territorial). Now Pesto does it too so it can be quite loud. We posted a video of Boo doing this with one of her toys last year. In fact I think Torres looks like an angel compared to her! eek |
