- One Green Cheeked Conure, name Chloe. And two parakeets - Opal and Jade.
Hello 
My GCC Chloe turned 4 months old at the end of May. I've had her since the middle of April. She has gone from gentle nibbling (on my skin) to painful biting. I have been saying "No." "Ouch." and sometimes instinctively reaching up to were she's bitten and end up moving her aside. When I do that she bites me again - and harder.
She is molting right now. I'm not sure if the "Spring Fever" applies to her at such a young age - but I do keep it in mind as a possibility.
I'm really looking for some advice on how to control this. She's no very particular about where she bites - and it usually just comes out of the blue/I cannot pinpoint a reason for it.
Thank you!
