I have an 8-month-old male named Jack. Up until a couple of weeks ago he was a sweet singer and loved to be held. Now, he screeches quite often, sings twice as loud as before, attacks his bell toy and mirror, and only gets up on our fingers half as often as he used to. I spend all day at home with him, so he's definitely not suffering for lack of attention. Is he going through puberty? I've heard the males can be a bit difficult at this stage.

Camillia,
Yes, your young male is going through puberty, and they can be difficult during this time. He is trying to show his independence now that he feels he is all grown up. This behavior should pass soon.
