Nipping and bath HELP!

AmazonLover · Oct 24, 2011

My bf zon nowadays already start to nipping, when my hand go near him and ask him step up but he won't. Instead he use he foot to grab my hand and nip. He nip can be abit painful but no blood or anything. I just want him to stop this habit. I try today put a loud "NO" but since not wrking. So guys and girls, I really need some greats comments here to help my bird and me.

And other thing is, how do I try my bf zon to enjoy his shower? I am using a pump spray right. So guide me along pls. Thanks. :green:

Birds grab your hand with the beak for balance before stepping up. It is not really intended as a bite.

^^What she said.^^

You need to be careful that you don't jerk your hand away when he does this (puts his beak on your finger to steady himself), or he'll stop trusting your hand as a perch and start nipping/biting for real. Hold it as steady as you can so he knows it's a safe and stable place for him to stand.

But when he grad my hand to nip willfeel painful after a few nip. But right now if he continue to do the same thing what should I do??

Take you finger in between the "feed" and press againg the "breast" the he will go UP. Regarding shower just do a little every day. After about a month or so he will enjoy it

I had try that. But still dun work out at all.. when my finger move in between his feet, and the breast area he will run off... Its kindly scare of me. But if my hand stay there to let him grab and nip, slowly will become painful. i do just try out.. so pls help me and my bf zon.

i can't really comment on the steppin up as i just ask nut to follow as she does this nippin thing

as for the shower, well i take mine with the nut or should i say she joins me! but like oled said, it took time, as at the begining the sound of the shower scared her

so next you shower, bath take your zon with you

and let him watch lol

As for the proposed bath-breaking-in plan what is the best way to spray your bird to start out because Quack doesn't seem to like his bath despite jumping in MINE a few days ago!

run a cooler bath an share it!

i generally spray nut now, (but she is not a fan of it!) as she mostly wants to drink the bath water, rather then bath in it, when i shower only 1 half of her gets wet lol

The bath issues I think let him use to it first.

But right now it's the nipping my hand and won't step up.
Anyone know how dose a blue fronted molting his new feather??? Cos yesterday I had notice 1 big feather drop off, and 2 small feathers drop off. Condition of the feathers not very good looking.

We will have to have a chat about not pooping in the water before hand

Otherwise, that could be fun!
