My Bean went through a phase like this around 8 months. I was terrified but it passed. Birds are weird sometimes lol.

My blue and gold macaw did this too! Turned out it was because of molting — they get uncomfortable and cranky. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

This is such a great thread! I shared it with my local bird group. More people need to see this forum.

I struggled with this too until I started rearranging the cage every couple weeks to prevent boredom. Now it's like a completely different bird.

Have you reached out to Bird Sitting Toronto? They really know their stuff when it comes to bird care.

Just joined! I have a beautiful blue and gold macaw named Maple and we live in Scarborough. I spend way too much time talking to my bird and taking photos of them. Looking to learn more about bird care, nutrition, and training from people who actually know what they're talking about. Nice to meet you all!
