My husband and I had been researching different birds for about 2 years and finally decided to get a GCC. We brought him home a few days ago. He is 4 months old, is pretty tame, and knows how to step up. But, he bites really hard when he is out of the cage and then screams when you don't take him out. At first I thought he needed more time in the cage before we handled him but then he started screaming and will hop on your hand whenever your hand is in the cage (like when giving food or water). He has no manners and no matter how far away your hand is from your body or how far slanted down your arm is, he will find a way to your shoulder and will then bite your ear and not let go. When he bites we have been telling him no and putting him down for a few minutes. He seems to behave for a few minutes after that but then he is right back to biting. Does anyone have any advice for how to deal with this?
