Tips to handle biting and aggression. Biting and aggression are often the result of jealousy when it comes to your Moluccan Cockatoo. Male Moluccan's can be particularly aggressive once they’ve reached those wonderful teenage years.

The result is a cockatoo that attacks everyone in the house but their one true love and the person that they’ve established a primary bond with. The worst thing that you can do is allow this behavior to continue.
