CONFUSED with BITING!

[Kern2012]

So I have a question when you are working with a bird who is timid and bites when uncomfortable, do you leave him alone when biting or do you continue to proceed even though he is biting? Thanks

Not knowing the bird, I'm not so sure it is so much timidity as still a trust issue and the nipping is more a "leave me alone" statement.....maybe back off a little...you've been demonstrating you're not the ogre come to eat it but there's probably still some apprehension of all this newness.....

Good luck.....

Bites when uncomfortable - stop making the bird uncomfortable! No more bites!


If a bird is biting, then the bird is trying to tell you something. It is up to you to stop and rethink the situation. What is causing the bird to bite? *WHY* is the bird biting? And is there anything you can do differently in the future to not get bitten?
