that i know of personally....love birds that bit off most of budgies beak making it difficult for the budgies to eat.also some young cockatiels that had there toes(in some cases almost all toes)bit off by older male cockatiels.budgies can be very aggressive to cockatiels as well and even kill them.tho i did have several cockatiels and budgies that got along great and insisted in being in the same aviary.with any birds you really need to keep a close eye on them and never leave them alone until you know how they will get along.if they don't then NEVER leave them alone unattended at any time.as for them injuring people,i have been fortunate to a point.i have had my parrots(smaller ones)Quaker,mustache and parrolets bite me many time,occasionally in the face even.hurts a great deal so you really have to be careful not to allow them by your face,especially if they turn out to be biters.parrolets can be very aggressive and even kill each other.

Cockatoo attack.
My friend had an umbrella that was very STRONGLY bonded to her. It was a 6 year old female.
The bird was on it's stand next to the cage.
The friend was talking to her mother and they were laughing and generally giving each other a hard time, a loud exchange.
The bird flew and attacked the mother, we believe it was protecting my friend.
It badly slashed her face requiring 18 stiches but it also bit her on the nose twice. One bite pieced her nose horizontally through the cartilege. The other ripped her nostril open over an inch.
She required plastic surgery to repair the damage.
It was the first and only attack. Vet checks showed nothing wrong physically. The bird was removed from the house, understandably, and given to an avairy. It did not do well there and was placed into rescue where it later died.
After researching, I don't believe cockatoos should be kept as pets. They belong in the wild and due to their bonding and mental problems in captivity have a less than good life as pets.
I know this will cause a big outcry.
They are simply too intelligent. They demand only expert keepers. They are not for the average pet bird keeper.
Check to see the number of cockatoos in rescue. The number is very depressing.

Male cockatoos are can be very violent to their mates, even killing them. There was a story a few years ago about a veterinarian who surgically fitted a female cockatoo with two artificial feet. Her mate had injured her so badly that both hers had been amputated.
