Hello everybirdie!
So, I'm pretty sure she's just trying to preen me. Either that, or I'm very tasty.
Knuckles is quite fond of putting her beak on my hand, and with it slightly open, kind of licking at my skin. I work with my hands, so they are not in the best shape. My hands are in water a lot, and now that I have birds, I have not used any hand cream or anything, because I don't want to expose the birds to anything un natural. So while she is investigating, she will sometimes find a cut, or a dry spot, and she will pick at it.
Should I discourage this? If it's going to encourage future biting, I'm gonna put an immediate stop to it! I'm just trying to make her happy, and it's a challenge at this point, because I don't know what she likes yet...... besides manicuring me.
(Also, I probably made it sound like I have sasquatch hands.. I don't.... I would love a French manicure..... *sigh*)
