So I have a 3 month old Conure, he's a sweet sweet boy, he is extremely smart learning pretty quickly some tricks like if "I go in my cage I can get a few bites of a treat". The problem I am having recently is he has just been biting me only which is a good thing and bad thing. My parents he does not bite and my grandparents he doesn't bite either (again all great things). My dad who handles him more then the rest but not more than me gets a few bites but he is told "no biting" immediately and he gets the picture and stops biting.
With me however recently he has been on a bite attack biting my hands to my neck when he snuggles next to me. I do tell him "no biting" but I do not know what could be triggering this. I usually would say oh I am spoiling him since I spoiled my last bird but I can honestly say I've done the opposite. I don't give him special treatment, me and my dad mirror each other in terms of letting him roam around the house while being with him. Now the biting isn't always there, he does snuggle with me no biting and gets massages and no biting so he's not doing it at all times but I do want to correct this behavior.
Ive seen some other threads addressing this but I want to know if its something I am doing wrong individually so I can correct it. Any advice I'll happily take it.
