Sexually Maturing Macaw

Question
Hi Maggie-

I have a 5 1/2 year old B&G Macaw (Harley), a 10 mo. old Camelot Macaw (Scooter) and a 7 mo. old U2 (Tango).  My B & G has come into "season" twice this year and the first time was not a big deal (although he did choose me for his mate).  He has never really paid any attention to either one of my other birds (which are both female) until we had to evacuate in advance of Hurricanes Katrina & Rita.  Due to limited cargo space, it was necessary for me to take only one cage for both Macaws.  They had never been caged together before but my B & G has been caged with my brothers female B & G occassionally.  At first it was a bit nerve racking as they continually fought but then after a few days they seemed to settle into their respective corners of the cage.  Once we arrived home it was still a week or two before I separated them to their own cages as I still had to reassemble the one taken for the evacuation.  They still seemed to be somewhat snippy with each other and once I finally placed my B & G back in his cage both seemed to be happier.  Now for my problem which has been on-going for two months, it appears that the B & G is back in "season" and he also appears to be insanely crazy about my Camelot.  I cannot handle the B & G without his attacking me, screaming and fighting all the way to get him back in his cage after letting him out for exercise.  I do not at this point let them out together, so when I finally get the B & G back in his cage and release the Camelot; the B & G screams his head off and will not shut up until I have the Camelot back in the cage.  It seems as though he doesn't want me to touch or even go near the Camelot, like he's protecting her.  At this time I cannot even handle the B & G outside of the cage and this saddens me as we have a very close bond and he trusted me completely before all of this.  How do I handle these seasons with my B & G in the future and how long does this last?  It seems this past summer when he was in season and choose me as his mate it did not last this long, nor did he act like he is now. In addition, he had taken a liking to my brothers female B & G (who is 10 y.o.) but never displayed the behavior I am subjected to now. I have thought about moving his cage to a separate room, however I know that this will not stop his incessant screaming. He has a very large vocabulary even for a Macaw but unfortunately he prefers to scream during this time which in turn has encouraged the others to scream as well. I have even thought about placing him in my brothers home for a while and taking his female B & G home with me. Any insite you can impart will be greatly appreciated, thank you.  

Answer
I would suggest hiring a professional behavioralist. This is a very complicated issue, and there could be so many other factors (not just "coming into season") that could be affecting this (having to move around, the stresses of all the recent changes, bonding to Camelot -or being separated now- in a non-sexual way, etc...)
