I have two male sun conures that are several months old now and are actually brothers! Rio and Comso. They have REALLY bonded and most times one won't go anywhere without the other. I love these two like my own children but my question is: WHY all the biting? Now don't misunderstand, they have never done it out of anger it's just like something they just HAVE to do! It seems to start out as a nibble then progressively get a little harder. I can handle most cockatiel bites (which I'm use too but that beck on a sun is a tad bit bigger and stronger than a tiels! LOL! About all I've been told in the past is say NO BITE in a firm voice. One woman grabs hers by the beak (gently of coarse) and says no bite. I tried that and it seems to have helped a little but when they get on a tear, it just seems there's no stopping them except back to the cage. Do other sun owners deal with this?
