Recommendations for treating territoriality, a common problem of parrots

The parrot has become an ordinary pet. Like dogs and cats, we should try to train them to be more sociable and not display certain negative attitudes.

Parrots sometimes have not-so-good behavior, reactions that can result in aggression. We are dealing with what is called regional aggression. We explain what it is and how to avoid it.

Picking up your parrot’s beak may be common as it’s a natural trait of these birds, but if we’re talking about a stronger beak, it shouldn’t happen to the people around you or your family. This type of aggression is called “aggression due to territoriality” and is characterized as a response to a negative stimulus accepted by the parrot that it perceives to protect its space, so veterinarian Ángel González is a resident. the vet explains it to us on Zamora.

To avoid this situation, as Yocalti explains, it’s best to establish a complete and balanced daily routine to meet all your parrot’s basic needs. It is also important that they know when to enter and leave the cage. Of course, you will have to be patiently armed until the animal trusts you and learns that you are its caretaker.

Suggestions for working on territoriality

We offer some suggestions for working on regionality

• In order for the animal to show less territorial behavior, it is essential that it has a good quality of life and that its behavior is not excessively serious.
• A good stimulating environment with activities (physical, mental and social stimulation) where you can develop different behaviors and socialize with other parrots
• proper nutrition
• Regular checkups at the vet
• Comfortable housing: a cage for our animal to feel like a king Enjoying a comfortable cage is very important for its behavior.

As Yocalti explains, “The cage is a very useful strategy for resolving aggression around a human or other bird, training, especially desensitization exercises, so that the parrot learns that it is not necessary to respond with aggression in these situations”.
