Why do Birds hiss at me2007-11-24 17:26:58

when I go to a pet store I walk past the birds, and no i don't do anything to them , but cockatiels and some others actually hiss at me. do they maybe smell that I have cats at home?

Answers:

That's very possible, & if I were you, I would go on line, & ask a Bird Behaviorist, why this happens, cause I've never heard of that ever.

They sense evil. j/k They're very scary birds. They hiss at me too.

You have the sent of death about you.

birds can sense the presence of pure evil..lol. just kidding..i have no idea

Wear freshly laundered clothing around them and probably change your cologne/perfume?

I'm not sure why the bird hiss at you. I don't think birds can smell, but I do think that you may be approaching them too fast. Some birds are territorial.

If this is not true, then you're the anti-christ. LOL. JK.

birds hiss?

---

Birds have a strong sense in smell, so anything not smelling like a bird can make them feel like hissing at you. I thought birds chrip. LOL

My mom owns a cockatiel and it hisses at me too, i think it has to do with the fact that they are not handled by humans much when they are younger, therefor are not use to humans. The reason i think this is true? When i was younger my mom had a pair of cockatiels that were raised by ordinary people and not a pet-store.the two cockatiels never hissed at anyone! its all in how you raise them when they are babies, just like any other animal.

They are probably scared or mad. My cockatiel hisses at me if he's upset.
