bite

Hi all! We recently got a young boy parrotlet named Buttercup! The only place this bird ever wants to be in on our shoulder. He will fly to our shoulder whenever he is out of the cage but after a while he will start either nibbling my beard and necklace or biting either moles, freckles, just...

Hello guys! I’m new to owning a conure, I’ve owned birds basically my whole life (cockatiels, lovebirds, budgies) so I have a little bit of understanding with these guys. I just got a 3 month old Green Cheek from a bird store about 3 days ago. He seems pretty good with hands and fingers being...

Hello all, I got myself a IRN last friday. We are together for six days know. He or she is not afraid of me or other people, the bird is very calm, relax i think. When i get home from and enter the room it looks excited, runs in cage and wants to come out. I am freely handling it and feed it...

So I have a sweet 6 month old green cheek conure. I have only had him like a month but he is a totally sweetie and we have a pretty good bond already. These past few days he has started pinching small pieces of my skin and holding on to them until i make him stop. He doesnt really seem to be...

I'm a first time bird owner and I got my lovebird, Percy, a few months ago. He came from a previous owner who couldn't give him enough attention, we think he's around 10 months old now. Now I say he, but he hasn't been sexed and I'm starting to think he's far more likely to be a female. I've...

Hi, I’m new to the forum. I recently adopted a 4 year old male blue naped amazon. We have reason to believe he has been passed around many families and was abused. He has a large scab on the top of his head and the previous owners kept him in a tiny dog cage and only fed him sunflower seeds...

Hello guys!!! So I have a cockatiel here, I've had him for well over a year now and I haven't found anything to help.. So he's not exactly completely aggressive towards hands. If i go to pet him, he's completely fine. I can kiss him, and pet his head. As SOON as I try to get him to step up he...

Hello all! I got a 1.5 year old Conure over a week ago and Cookie was going on my hands and shoulders fine, didn’t bite me at all, loved getting cuddles. There have been a few days where Cookie was very vocal and loud but today Cookie just wants to bite and come after your hands as soon as...

Okay so ill start by saying, this cockatiel was in one of those crowded cages where around 50 birds were held in a small cage and no where to run or go, afraid of all humans and their behavior to come to cages and spook them to get a reaction, i did not intend to get this bird but when i saw...

This is Maebel, our green-cheek/pineapple mutation. https://i.imgur.com/Crvzk1W.jpg She was hatched in January, so she's definitely still a bab birb. I will preface this by saying I understand that GCCs are beaky birds. She is awesome! I'm a first-time bird owner, but well-studied, and my...

Hi all, This is my first post and probably a topic heard quite a bit. I have a male yellow bibbed lorikeet who hatched Apr 11 2018. When he was young, he was very playful and did not bite at all, at least nothing that hurt. I was always gentle, and I would say little phrases like “I got you”...

I've had my Indian ringneck male named Forest for a few years now but he is still quite nippy and he bites quite often. His previous home wasn't very good so I understand that it may be because of that but my other rescue birds came around and mostly stopped biting and nipping after a while but...

Hello, first off, please forgive me if this is not the right way to begin a thread - this is my first time using a forum and I am just looking for some advice. Anyways, the issue is regarding my new peach faced lovebird, Darby. I got him from a pet shop, but not a large chain like PetCo, a small...

:gcc:Hello guys, I'm new to the forum and to owning birds so I need some advice. I got my first pair of Orange-Chinned Parakeets recently and one of them was pretty friendly the first day I got him and would perch on my fingers(he seemed hand tamed) but then after one day he suddenly turned to...

We've had our conures Charlie and kiwi for almost three years. We weren't planning on getting a larger bird anytime soon but my cousins didn't have the time for their cockatoo Nigel because of work and their kids so they sold her to us. We've had Nigel since last Monday on the 20th. Since we've...

Hello, I am new to the forum, I have joined in hope of finding help. I rescued my little corrella, Buster, 6 months ago. I was told his owner had unexpectedly died and he had been passed to two other people before he was with the couple I took him off. The first people who rehomed him couldn't...

My budgie, Doodle, is a bit weird when it comes to fingers... Every now and then I can touch their beak and give them a tiny bit of millet but for the most part, they lunge and bite my finger. I know they like to be pet sense one night when they were tired he wanted me to scratch his neck. It...

Hi all. Exactly a week ago my partner and I picked up our new Green Cheek Conure - Benji. We are first time parrot owners and would like to express our concerns and hopefully find some advice to what we are doing right or wrong. Benji is 4 months old and we got him from a couple that...

I own this one male pineapple conure named Coco. He's always been a little brat, and being my first bird, i'm not quite sure how to stop him from biting. He tends to just nibble on me most of the time, but if I accidentally hurt him or annoy him or do something he doesn't like, he bites hard. I...

hi All! New conure owner here.. we have only had her 2 days. I did a ton of research, 2 years worth, before i brought home a bird. I have a 2 year old female yellow sided green cheek. I expected her to be nervous and shy for a long time when brining her home, but she isnt shy at all. the first...
