My less-than-three month old lovebird has been with me for about a week. At the beginning, it was really sweet, hardly ever doing anything bad. Recently, though, it's been screaming for no reason, getting tangled in my hair, and biting me really hard.
I ignore it when it's screaming, and praise it if--if--it quiets down. I keep it out of my hair. I tried verbally scolding it, but it just kept biting, so I started gently flicking it (that's what the man at the pet store said to do). I then held its beak gently closed and said, "No biting." Nothing works.
I'm starting to really hate my birdie sometimes... help me.
