My Amazon is very hormonal

[Tycos_mom]

Fergie my Yellow crowned Amazon is extreamly hormonal right now. She won't let me leave her alone for a second without screaming at the top of her lungs MOM MOM MOM COMERE MOM MOM and when I'm with her she want to snuggle and get mushy she driving me crazy Is anybody elses Amazon hormonal right now? I guess I should be happy that she not mean during this. It would be cute if it wasn't so constant. I'm tellen ya I don't know if I can stand all this lovey stuff for the next 2or 3 months. If i go up to her play stand of cage to talk to her she rubs her face up against my cheek and almost purrs. If i sit down on the chair 8 ft away she flys over to be with me. she doesn't want to be away from me at all. Normaly we have a contact whistle so if I'm doing something in another room and she calls me I can just whistle our song and she's fine. It doesn't work right now. All I get is MOM MOM COMERE.

I don't know what I'm going to do with her. I try to ignore her but after about 20 minates it gets a bit much.

My amazon is a male and he does not do that. While he is a sweet bird he does not have to be on me all the time. I think that comes from the years he was set up as a breeder.

Wish I had some advice for you that might help. All I can say is hand in there and try to enjoy the attention.:blush:

Wow, I know some of the members would love for their bird to be doing all that cuddling and lovey stuff.

She's very well socialized and she's also 10 yrs old so she gone through the teenage years. She really is a wonderful bird. But now I have a new problem My Fiery shouldered Conure can hear Fergie making all her mating noises and such and of course Fergie is getting alot of attention lately and Luna is so jealous she is starting to chew the feathers on her wings. Luna is a rescue and she is 8yrs old I've had her for 6 yrs and when I got her she was an absolute mess she had her tail and wings totaly barbered to nothing she was so ratty looking and so stressed the people that had her kept her in a canary display cage they said I should buy a thick pair of gloves if I wanted to handle her. so she has history

She hasn't barbered her wings in 5 yrs shes my velcro bird and has full flight. I noticed today that she has two little hole in the ends of her last flight feathers and I know its because of Fergie demanding so much of my time. and I do go out of my way to spend time with her too. When you have two birds that want you for their mate its hard.
