Ok so im new to this site but im not new to raising my birds. Im at a loss for words and im so upset i adore all of my birds i have hand raised them inside my house with the family until they are grown. I never had any major issues until now. Well i didnt think it was much of an issue but its clearly becoming a problem i cant grasp control of so i need help asap. I have 1 female hen and 1 guinea fowl as of right now due to my neighbors hunting dogs killing a few of my hens. This was about a year ago and at first nothing changed. So gradually i started seeing him become more aggressive with her and then it escalated to charging at me eventually leading to him attacking me EVERY TIME i get close enough. He use to do it while i wasnt paying attention but now he is ready for battle the minute i open there door to let them out he starts chasing me out of the cage. So my husband started having to do it for me. I try and give them there free range time they need and deserve. Ive become a prisoner in my own home now. Ive tried standing my ground thinking he would stop and ended up getting stitches and painful bruises. He was NEVER like this before nor was he attacking ANYONE EXCEPT me. My 10 year old was screaming one day while outside i ran out and my guinea had him pinned in the corner on top of the cage and kept trying to jump on him so i walk out and chucky immediately turns and comes for me long enough for him to come down. Ive tried doing punishments and lockdowns for him but if i let her out and he cant come out with her he gets mad and he will attack the hen the minute i put her back in there cage. So i can't do that anymore for her safety. Hes mean to her either way but its worse when he doesnt get his way. I have to use 3 or 4 different feeding spots at once because he wont let her eat much other wise. My mother calls me one day when she pulls up and i asked why she didnt just come in like usually and of course the damn bird was trying to chase her around now we look alot alike so i figured thats why. Not even a week later my neighbor comes BEATING like the police to tell me chucky was attempting to bully her while she was trying to plant flowers that he wanted to try and eat. I honestly thought it was a woman thing but i as wrong. My husband is now being attacked he was always very loving and patient with chucky hand feeding im his favorite pears so he was NEVER aggressive toward him and he spends all day outside with our animals Chucky always just followed and watched curiously with everything he did. He has attacked an uber driver and attempted to jump into my mailmans truck to attack him. We love our birds and we dont eat them so i need help ASAP. I dont wanna have to kill him nor give him away so im looking for causes and solutions. Its not because hes protecting her or her nest because he doesnt want shit to do with her except to beat up on her when hes mad. Any advice would be awesome. I just dont wanna give up on him without trying to help if possible.
