    My new conure keeps biting my face and ear (new bird owner)

    I just got my 2 year old male GCC, Biscuit, a few days ago. He likes to sit on my shoulder and lets me pet him and steps up without biting me, however when on my shoulder while he preens my face he sometimes bites my cheek or lip hard or my ear. I tell him NO firmly then put him back on his...

    My Pineapple Conure won't stop biting me when I pick him up.

    I got my Pineapple Conure back in March of 2024 and he was never an aggressive bird. In the last month or so my conure has started to develop a habit for biting hands when trying to pick him up whether its out of his cage or off of my shoulder. Any other time he doesn't bite. I received him with...

    Flying and attacking

    I have a conure, he is very young, I’ve had him less than a year. I know conures are bitey and nibbly by nature, and his normal bites are pretty hard, but I’m used to them and I’m okay with them. He respects me, and you could say I’m his favourite. The issue is my mom. He bites her really really...

    Pineapple Conure being aggressive

    Hi all! We just got a new pineapple conure today and we already have a GCC. The hope was that they would be friends but the pineapple is ruthlessly attacking our GC. Is there any hope of fixing this or should we return her because of her aggressive behaviour?
