Hi fellow bird owners!
I've come here hoping to get some help with my Wife's naughty Conure named Wilbur.
Wilbur is very loving towards my wife and is usually very well behaved. We have been living together for 6 months and it's been hard for me adjusting to the bird being around 24/7
My main goal here is to be able to comfortably handle Wilbur like my wife can since I really do love him and I want to enjoy the pleasure of owning a bird.
Wilbur loves to bite my finger VERY hard. So hard that it breaks the skin and I start to bleed. I am unable to get him to step up off his cage.
He will usually step up to me when he is on the ground or a table but usually becomes almost excited by the presence of my finger. Showing it to him will make him start smashing his beak on the ground and start to bite everything around him (hard)
I feed him seeds every day and sometimes we even share fruit. Wilbur is definitely not scared of me (he is fine on my head or shoulder it's just getting him up there that is the dangerous part)
I've been told to stop a bird biting to walk away immediately . The problem with this is his bites are so hard that i can hardly bring myself to try anymore. Also sometimes when he bites me and i walk off he flys towards me (ironic i know)
Any help would be really appreciated
