Hi everyone,
I have had cockatiels, lovebirds and parakeets all my life and recently I purchased a year old male sun conure. He was handfed as a baby and is pretty tame. I have one problem though,
Sometimes when I go to take him out of his cage and he doesn't want to go he starts to bite, and he is starting to bite pretty hard. Once he is out he doesn't bite. Only when he is in his cage. Right now when he goes to bite I just keep my finger in place (even if he is biting) and say "step up" until he eventually does. Is there anything else I can do to make him come out easier? Thanks!
