Agression during molting? Not that I am aware of. But its good you are looking at various angles to determind the cause. And I believe "cause and effect" is particularly true in animal behaviour.
I have a fews questions;
- How often do you clean the cage?
- Do you let the bird out to play daily?
- Have there been a change in your time spent with the bird?
- Any change in the surrounding environment? New furniture? New location for the cage? New people in the house?
These things can cause a change in behaviour.
For example if we (my family) were to neglect our African Grey (Wei Wei in particular) for a few days because we are busy he'd behave a little aggressive. However he soon recover with a regular dose of love and attention. On most Sundays he is left very much on his own home alone and when we come home in the night he'll show his tantrum flicking away even his favourite treats when offered. Wang Wang my other younger CAG is quite different, he behaves like a baby and not as moody.

I still let it out by itself because if i don't let it out of the cage for some time it will hang at the door with a pity look. But I have to trick it or use a T stick to put it back into the cage. Thing turn worse two days ago. I let is out to clean the cage, as usual when I open the door it will make it way to the play stand (which is beside the cage) and play there. But this time it suddenly move to bite my toe, I have no choice but to catch it with a towel and glove to put it back into the cage. Since then I did not let it out of the cage because my wife was so scared.
There is no chage in the enviroment, food, routine and out of cage time. (Age: 1 1/2 years old, gender : unknown) May be molting because a few feathers drop each day and a number of new feather popping out.
Does parrot turn aggressive during molting?.
Will appreciate some suggestion.
