Every single morning when I think I'm going to get a kiss and instead I get bit in the face. 😒

Every month or two, I try to scritch the Rickeybird's nape the way I did in his pre-rooster days, and he screams "OWWWWWWWWW" and turns to bite and with that warning and a bit of luck I'm fast enough to get away.

Kiwi used to bite me in the face too:( Now he preens my face:) Time, time and more time (oh and keeping a healthy distance during the breeding season once they're "of age").

I really like to give her kisses. I adore her just a little bit 😆 this morning bite thing. It's one bite and thats it, total cuddle bug. What's up with that? This is only a guess, but I think shes actually mad that she's locked in her cage when she wakes up.

I totally feel like that most mornings when I'm not fast enough with the food..or baths...or just because it's a day that ends in Y.

Same! 2 out of 5, ouch! What works for me, is offering the hard part of my nose for a kiss, JoJo can't nip! So we do our kiss kiss routine and no blood!

Perhaps just a tad grouchy in the morning then? I usually let Kiwi eat and wake up before any kissing or playing. Much safer than impromptu, unwanted facial reconstruction:D

Or perhaps just a control thing:eek:
