I have a 3yr male tiel that has been aggressive when sitting, but never to his mate. I know it is normal, however he made her bleed, Her wing and foot. What should I do? I took him out to let her rest and heal. I hope this doesn't urinate him off more. Is their something I can do to make him less aggressive towards her. I know he is feeling frisky, but I do not want him killing her for it. Will this continue? If i put him back and he starts bitting her again what should I do? Please help. Is this then end of his breeding, because he is overly aggressive. She is the same age as him. Thank for any info. Never had a bird as bad as him.

Try separating them. Tiels are not normally aggressive to mates they've bonded with. This pair has not bonded and should not be forced to stay together. The hen is being abused.
