biting

My boy is almost 1yr and had him since he was 8 wks (got from pet shop). He is very loved & free to roam the house. All of a sudden he is biting (drawing blood). Every now & again he goes mad in his cage, flapping his wings & completely drenching himself in his water bowl. This is not normal...

Hello everyone! I have yet to post an introduction for myself, but I do have a question. I have a three month old green cheek conure (his name is Rook), who was obviously never hand tamed before. So, I've had to start from scratch with him. He had just arrived in Petsmart when I purchased him...

Help!! PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!! I am a new owner of a blue crowned conure. I got it Friday and it is now Sunday. It's previous owners did not even know what kind of bird it was or the age and sex of it. When it would scream they would spray it with water. It will take treats out of my hand and...

Hello, I'm new to this forum and recently added a young Jenday Conure to my family. He's (don't know if it's a boy for sure but I just always say he for some reason) only a little over 4 months old, and I absolutely love him aside form my nasty behavior issues. I know Jenday's can be noisy and...

I am new to bird ownership. I am a vet tech and a client of mine had to rehome her sun conure as an emergency due to extreme allergies. I offered to take him for her. I have never owned a bird but have been doing lots of research and have coworkers that have a lot of birds. This male conure...

G'day fellow bird owners I am at a loss... My gorgeous alexandrine, Belle has become progressively more moody towards me and any other human that even walks to her cage. Before you post suggestions take this into account, please: I have done prior research on why she could be pissed off. 1-I...

Hello, this is my first (but definately not last!) post here at ParrotForums. We have a 1 year old Lovebird (Roseicolli) called Kiwi. We are having some trouble with him biting, it's gone past the exploring stage and is now becoming aggressive. He is tame, completely comfortable with us. He...

I got my almost 4 month old green cheek conure about 4 days ago, and he has been making really good progress with me, he climbs on me, he steps up and down most of the time I want him to and he's even learning to poop on command very fast without treats. He lived with a really nice amateur...

While I've had my "playtime" with my galah inside I've had my laptop there and thought we could just "hang out together" for a while. She went very "bitey" when she saw me type on the computer and she also started biting the keys. Even though I stopped typing and picked her up, she stayed...

Hi, I've been looking for some help on how to get my pineapple conure to stop biting, and to hopefully get an idea of why she's biting in the first place. There was another thread about biting conures, I however feel I need to be very specific with my case, as I haven't found tips on stopping...
