My sun has an issue with nibbling on my nose. I have to pay attention to his mood. He doesn't get aggressive, but he gets in these really silly moods where he forgets himself and will nip and laugh his head off afterward. If I notice his mood change he gets taken away from my face and has to either sit in my lap or next to me. I also had this happen with my budgie. I was laying in bed reading and he was sitting on my chest, he walked up to my face, started nibbling my nose, and then chomped down so hard I couldn't get him off. I stood up and he was hanging there!!!! It was like a really bad cartoon where somebody ends up with a mousetrap stuck to their nose!!!! I finally get him off, but it left a mark on the tip of my nose for months! It looked like a giant pimple where he bit me! Everybody kept asking about it and when I told them they would laugh at me! Naughty Spooky. Needless to say, he isn't allowed near my face anymore.
