So she's probably more fearful than angry, but I liked the alliteration.
She's almost 5 months and still at the bird store and I visit her at least once a week. I just visited her today and she bit the whole family (lol). Are they naturally more fearful and nervous than the males? I had this issue x1000 with Raja and I want to be approaching her the right way when I'm taking her from the cage (firm step up even if she's biting the crap out of my finger?) Once she's out, if she goes for a finger I redirect her by making her step up on my other hand. I'm also saying, "gentle beak," heh.
I'm assuming she'll become less nervous when she's home and used to me, but I want to make sure I'm not reinforcing the bite habit. And why does it seem the females bite harder than the males?
Sorry for the jumbled thoughts and thanks for reading if you made it through!
