Avocado, my green cheek conure uwu
It has only started 2 days ago when my GCC (green cheek conure) started biting my hair. I wasn't concerned at first because it usually sits on my head while nibbling on hair. But this time, I could hear the chewing/grinding. When I checked, I saw that it had broke my hair and several strands of hair were everywhere. I am really worried, please help :white1:

Green cheek conure - Sydney (Syd) Hatched 2/2017
I sympathise but the simple answer is to ban head time before you are bald. I hate Syd in my hair so when he lands there I just reach up and 'help' him down. He objected a bit to start with but soon got the message and now waits for my hand to arrive and he hops on happily for the ride to civilisation.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Seems Avocado enjoys grooming you! We generally recommend head/shoulder privileges are earned because of potential for great biting damage. In this case it is more an irritant, so perhaps restricting access for a while may prove helpful.
