Even larger hints, such as the bird walking away from his favorite person are often ignored by humans. These include a slight change in the size of the pupils of the eyes, a barely perceptible shift in body language or the way the feathers are held against the head or body. This “sudden” reaction by the bird usually occurs after the human has failed to notice a myriad of tiny clues that would never be missed by another parrot. Or, he might actually be tired, or perhaps someone around him behaved in a way that he perceived as threatening, in which case, he lashed out to tell the person to just leave him alone because he was tired or felt threatened. Sometimes, he just got up “on the wrong side of the perch” and simply does not want to interact at that moment. But we can still do our best to determine the most likely causes and go from there.Īn angry bird might suddenly lash out for seemingly no reason. After all, we often don’t even know why people around us are angry. Unfortunately, we can never be exactly sure of why a bird is angry. If it is not appropriately addressed, the symptoms could go into hiding only to reoccur at a later time and in a different form than their initial manifestations. What kinds of things make birds angry and what can be done about them? Well, what situations make you angry? The reasons for problem behaviors are diverse, and pinpointing the cause is an important component of the behavior modification and healing processes in both humans and animals. However, taking the aforementioned things into consideration, the most accurate way of determining if a bird is angry is the fact that he will often just feel angry to those who know him. He might destroy his feathers, often in a methodical and deliberate manner. He might scream or be vocally or physically confrontational. He might be tense and sit relatively still, or he might tear around the cage destroying things. That is not true anger, unless he is not taught that he cannot do this and eventually becomes angry because everyone is violating “his” property and not paying attention to his clear messages to keep away.Īn angry bird often spends much of his time alone. Some apparent aggression might actually be territorial behavior, in which the bird defends his favorite person, place or object and attempts to drive all others away. One clue to look for is that an angry bird often does not seek positive social interaction, whereas a rowdy, happy little guy will. This can be a tough call to make, especially because some destruction could be normal nesting behavior or an ecstatically happy and rambunctious little parrot doing what he does best - making a mess. The bird might also lash out violently, sometimes waging a full attack upon a person, animal or object. An angry bird might also develop a short fuse, exhibiting little or no patience. Anger is stronger than grouchiness and the bird often appears extremely frustrated. This is not always the same thing as anger, although a grumpy bird can become angry. Some birds, like people, are just grumpy. This is where knowing your bird’s personality can be helpful. Symptoms of anger in a pet bird can manifest in numerous ways, which makes diagnosis difficult. Because different techniques are required to alter different behaviors, it is important to properly identify observed emotions in our pet birds and parrots.
