It is so funny. When I wipe down the grill bars at night before bed, I usually place my left hand on the grill so it doesn't slide while I am wiping. Sam has started coming over and holding my hand with his foot. He then wipes his beak up and down on my fingers and sometimes play bites ( no pressure ) while doing so. If I try to pick him up, he runs away, but then comes back to hold my hand again. Its so cute! :green:

You know, my ekkie has boy doing this lately. Won’t step up but won’t let go of my finger. When I gently pull my finger away he pulls it right back and wants to sit for a minute just holding hands. It’s adorable.

That is sweet! It means he likes you:)

Our amazon does that too and likes to chomp on your fingers and kind of pry on your nails (all very gently). Sometimes he chomps a bit too hard and if you react he gets immensely offended:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yeah, mine loves to chew my nails. I don't let him because I usually have polish on them. Once when I was going on a Disney cruise, I had a design painted on and he was terrified of them!
