Maybe and then again, maybe not....some of mine display year round, no rest, others take a short break, usually during their molt. Just depends on the individual bird!I've noticed!
He is also not a happy chappy when I get in there to collect the eggs. Is there a chance he will calm down a bit when breeding season is over?
I don't mind him displaying, I'd just prefer it if he didn't attack me during maintenance.
We will just have to see then! Fingers crossed he will settle in his hormones and realize I'm not after his ladies.
That's a problem when you try to 'tame' them....they imprint on you. You might try picking him up and carrying him around in the pen, that sometimes breaks them from trying to attack you everytime you enter the pen. None of mine have ever tried to attack me....my Reeves pheasant, is another issue all together, they are very aggressive with hens as well as humans. I do this technique with them and it works pretty good but I still don't turn my back on them when in their pen.I don't mind him displaying, I'd just prefer it if he didn't attack me during maintenance.

Same with parrots, corvids and all the others that can get confused when they hit maturity, but I've still got hope that he will settle in himself eventually. It isn't super serious to the point where he flies at my face or anything (though it does help to cover my very brightly coloured hair.) but he will grip and flap at my sleeves sometimes. 
I've heard that about the reeves! They are a bit larger as well aren't they?That's a problem when you try to 'tame' them....they imprint on you.
