well today we were at the pet store petting an maluccan cockatoo. he was the sweetest thing! we visited him a few times before this and he would swing upside down on the cage bars going "wooo" and my mom would count his swings and when he finished he would run up to her as if to say "how did i do?!". so any way my dad and i were visiting him and when we turned around, he bit the back of my dads shirt. when we looked at him he was standing tall with his wings slightly apart from his chest, but not spread out. then when my dad walked away he put his head down for me to pet him. the cockatoo didnt get the skin and was letting him pet him b4, but my dad pet him when his head was down so mabey he didnt see him. was this aggression or wanting attention and is there any way to fix my dads shirt lol.:white1:

He was demanding for attention! Mine does it if I'm not paying attention to her, she gets nippy....
