nipping

So I have a sweet 6 month old green cheek conure. I have only had him like a month but he is a totally sweetie and we have a pretty good bond already. These past few days he has started pinching small pieces of my skin and holding on to them until i make him stop. He doesnt really seem to be...

hey all, I've just brought home a young (2 months) green cheek named Corvus and she is the love of my life! she's very friendly overall but has some issues biting. at this point I can't tell if it's just because she's so young (she's still getting used to perching) and doesn't quite have a good...

My 5 month young caique (Gemma) has started to nip. When she is on my hand or held on her back she starts to bite, not in the sense of telling me she is uncomfortable but of something to do. I try ignore it but she is starting to put more and more pressure to the point of blood. Could it be...

I recently adopted a 6 month old green cheek conure. Problem is, he's rather nippy. I've done so much research and tried so many methods in order to get him to stop, but nothing has worked. He bites hard to the point it breaks my skin. Here is what I have tried so far: - Blowing on him gently...

My mom got a Green-Cheek Conure a little under a year ago(Her name is Kiwi) Kiwi was very attached to my mom, but then I moved in and began talking and trying to mess(hold and play) with kiwi, at first she would bit me(obviously) but eventually after a good couple of months she let me holder...

Hello all! Any advice is much needed. So I've had my first bird for 2 months now (a sun conure named Lola who is 4 months old) and she is just lovelyl! We are bonding wonderfully, she is a cuddly, sweet hand raised baby bird from a good breeder. She loves me and my boyfriend and has met 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 a new bird owner. My friend was no longer able to care for her 2 year old green cheek so I adopted him. She said he was very sweet and shy. I have had him for almost a week. I am able to have him walk on my arms and shoulders but he still bites me if I try to pet him, as well as if anyone...

Echo is a 22yo Eclectus male that I adopted about 5 months ago. He has plucked his feathers for the last 18 years (as reported by his past owner). When I got him, he did not play with any toys. He had toys in his cage, but he ignored them. I bought new toys, he ignored them too. I started...

What do you do when your bird nips you hard. At the minute, Hiccup is entering what I hope is a nippy phase, but I don't want to encourage it. I've tried ignoring her when she does it, but that didn't work. Currently, if she nips me hard, I'll sternly say her name, which gets her to stop...
