Sun conure reaching sexual maturity?
I have a Sun conure, I don't know if it is a boy or a girl (but I call her a she, lol). She just turned 1 year old back in june. She has always been so social, she would go to anyone. In the last month or two she has been not very nice at all. She is still fine for me and my husband, we can both hold her and cuddle her and she gives us lots of kisses. But my kids can't hold her anymore she started getting quite nippy w/ them, they can feed her snacks and stuff by hand, but she will not let them hold her at all. And anyone else that even looks at her through the cage she gets her feathers all ruffled up and will go at them w/ beak wide open, lol. Its not that big of a deal if she is turning into a one (or two ) person bird. I got her for me, so I feel lucky that she has picked me, but I was just wondering if maybe she was reaching mating age or something. She is my only bird and I have no intentions of breeding her, I was just wondering if that was an explanation for her not so friendly behavior lately. She was just at the vet to be checked out and have her wings done, so I know she is all healthy and everything. Any responses are welcome!
No my kids haven't done anything too her, Its any one but me and my husband she is mean too, My kids can still feed her, anyone else can't even look at her.

yor kids might have done something to him/her that made him/her mad. Same thing happen to my sun conure when they got mad at me. They won't let me handle them or touch them. They are biting me whenever I tried to get them. They will just let me give them seeds. I can't even tell them to flip around my finger. I keep on giving them treat until I got the trust back. Yes I have done something wrong to make them mad at me. Have your vet perform a DNA test to determine the gender so you won't be in the dark on the sex of your bird.

Clip this is wings, no reason to have an entire winged poultry in a house. basically stand lower back and seem on the placement. became there something new that handed off that brought about your poultry to act out in direction of your canine? Is Your poultry performing extraordinary like ill in any appreciate? He would possibly no longer prefer to be worry with the help of the canine reason it isnt feeling nicely. a visit to the vet would be suitable to rule out any scientific situation which would be aggravating the poultry

It sounds like it may be entering maturity. Try taking it different places. Its wings are clipped and so no danger of flying away. Birds get bored like people with same old same old. I take my eclectus parrots on drives, others handle them and this keeps them guessing and mentally stimulated. Also get a perch for your shower and a fine mist spray bottle to bathe the bird with family members. Here is a site that may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unAS-z_QR04&feature...
