A few days ago I bought an Alexandrine from a friend who urgently needed money. It's a 5 month old bird. The first 2 days were pretty fun, he/she never bit me. But on the third day when I was taking him( to save me some trouble lets assume it's a he) out of the cage he bit me. At first I thought it was aggression, I thought he was in a bad mood or something so I just gave him some time and tried again but he bit me again. The same thing happened for the next 2 days. I was not able to take him out of the cage for 3 days. Finally I brought a tree branch and took him out. He also tried chewing on the branch before stepping on it btw.
After I took him out, it seemed like he wasn't being aggressive. He's eating from my hand and he's definitely not scared of me. I'd say he's just being curious or playful. If I put my hand near him he's trying to get his mouth on it but in a slow movement rather than trying to scare me or something (which is why I think he's not being aggressive).
Anyway, I need him to stop chewing or biting my hand when I try to pick him up.
Any help would be appreciated.
