Long story short, I intend on working with an 36-year-old Amazon and a 9-year-old conure my brother is neglecting either by frequent visits or taking the animals myself. (I haven't decided which since either comes with its own issues)
The reason they're being neglected is because they bite and scream.
If a bird has been biting for years, will training get rid of that behavior all together? If the biting seems random, will that change the birds ability to stop biting?
Also, how bad are Amazon parrot bites?
I know how bad a conure's bite is, and I have little fear of it since its all superficial and short-term.
I'm sorry that there's 3 questions there, but I would appreciate all the advice I can get since this is a very difficult situation I have to deal with.
