And its also been molting ALOT! It has a lil bit of balness over the top of his nosterals, so please answer :[

Answer 1

If the change in your bird has happened suddenly, then yes, take it to the avian vet. I would most certainly be concerned about the change in attitude and the baldness. Aggression in birds can be triggered by pain, I would see a vet ASAP.

If you haven't handled the bird in some months and it is now aggressive, then it is possible that it has become "wild" again.

But I highly doubt this is so. Your best bet is to take him/her to the vet to figure out why the sudden change in behavior.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

The problem could be the dog, food, anything thats new. Idk about the baldness part. Best thing is try changing foods or something or contact the vet. Hope that helped.
