Hey, when your lories- or any birds for that matter- are molting and irritable/aggressive- what do you do about it??

Yes, most of ours get moody, we just give them space till they are wanting attention.

Hmmm... good idea! But that's so hard to do! LOL Thanks!

bathes usually help them get over it sooner(molting) also adding a bit of Aloe gel to the water helps the 'itchy's'

Aloe gel- I'd never heard of that- thanks! She loves her baths- I'll see if I can buy some to put in.

I leave Matches to do her own thing. She is going through a moult now, cranky pants sometimes unless she wants something I have, then she's sweet little angel waving and spinning to get it lol. I give her treats when she's good, otherwise i just leave her be.

Good idea. I'll put that into practise... make her want something from me, so she actually wants me with her :D
