I've had this sun conure for about a year now. She regards me as her mate. This isn't the first time I've owned a sun conure; I had one before for about 8 years before it passed away. This is the first time, however, that I've been the first owner. I've probably spoiled her; she starts screaming at 7am and the only thing that can stop her is me taking her into my bed, folding a pillow into a "tent" and sticking her there to minimize the chances of me hurting her in my sleep. Up until now this worked; she would fall asleep next to me until about 10 or 11am when she would get restless and start playing with my hair.
But the other day I was awoken this time by her charging and biting my elbow, and then shoulder. Before she'd bite my feet, which was easy enough to keep away from her, but she'd never done this before. Now at all hours of the day she'll bite my elbow, thigh, or pretty much any exposed skin apart from my face and torso. I just don't understand how she can't connect that my elbow is part of the same limb that my hand (which she's okay with) is on; that my thigh is connected to my torso, which is all a part of her mate! I suspect this may be hormonal; she's relatively young.
What can I do???
