Suddenly Cricket has become extremely cage territorial. If I put my hand in his cage to pick him up he now lunges and chatters at me all the while trying to bite me.

This just started a couple weeks ago. He has always been more than happy to hop up on my finger to come out.

Has this happened to anyone else with their Parrotlet?

That is very strange, maybe it is his breeding hormones , how old is cricket Gail?i cannot remember.
Scooby has been really bad just lately, he just wants to breed, he is attacking sky again and anything else that goes near him.

I agree with Kev because Jo Jo is always so happy for me to take him out of the cage but the last few days he has been ornery.

Jackie Cricket was 3 years old last December.

He's really good for me first thing in the morning. Will hop on my finger but after that watch out! hide

He drew blood on my husband last night :scared:

I think you're right Kev...hormones are playing a part here. He's doing some very "odd" things with his toy bells! giggle

Cricket!! be nice to your mother!! eek

Andy has had a lot of trouble with Boo and Pesto and he can't get them to step up out of the cage lately. Also, Tree's little girl, Bluebell, is doing the same thing!! She has to wait for her to come out on her own or she gets fanged. I don't know why they are all so hormonal this spring.

Squeak!! a plastic nut?? rofl

Today was the first time Jo Jo actually wanted to step up on my hand but he's still a little fiesty. I think in another week or so those nasty hormones will settle down. I miss my little love sponge :wub:
