My 13 months old green cheek conure Echo bites more and more often. He literally attacks me when I have things in my hand, like my phone for example. He also bites when I'm eating something. Then he bites my ear or my lips really hard. Also when I'm trying to play with him and I want to give him a toy he likes he attacks my hand instead of taking the toy. Can it be his age? Is he going through puberty or so? Or is it because it's summer and he's more territorial?
The bites are so hard that I bleed.
It's such a pity that every time I want to play with him, or be nice with him that he responds with such a hard bite. I don't know what to do about it. I feel like my relationship with my little friend is deteriorating because of it. I just don't want to ruin it.
He's out of his cage all the time, the whole day, by the way -- except when I'm not at home, and at night. But I work from home so I'm at home a lot.
