We've had Butch for a week. Today was really challenging. I got nipped this morning when I tried to get him out to take a shower. Ok I pushed too much. Then this afternoon he was on a tree stand in the living room and my sister in law was standing too close and he reached over and grabbed her with his beak. She panicked and ended up pulling him off the stand and he grabbed harder. Now this evening I had him back on the stand/table in the living room. My CAG Neytiri was causing him to be nervous cause she kept flying to me. I decided to take butch back up to his cage. When we got to the top of the stairs he reached under my hand and bit me. I decided to use a perch to pick him up and he tried to get me again.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if he's just testing me. I always move confidently and deliberately with the birds. So not sure if this is normal or what. Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks.
