I have a Maroon Bellied Conure called Taz who I think is about almost 1 and a half. He use to be very friendly and would let you do pretty much anything to him and if he didn't like it he would give you a warning nip which wouldn't hurt t all.
but in the last few months he has gotten less tolerant of pretty much everything, he won't let me touch him anymore unless it his feet when he steps up and will bite if you're doing something he doesn't like. For example if he doesn't want to get off a place he knows he's not allowed such as the TV (every time he flies to i take him off straight away) he will bite me when he never use to. when he bite he doesn't just bite and then let go he really bites down hard and draws blood, plus he get all puffed up and stretches at me, so I know he's pissed off which makes me sad because I hate to do that to him.
Today I was playing with him outside of his cage with same small toys, Taz had walked off to look out the window but then came back to me because i had an interesting toy, but then he was bored of the toy i had he saw my hand just sitting there so he walked up and bit it quite hard which i just don't quite understand why.
Sadly it has gotten to the point that when i get him out I have to cover my hands with my sleeves because i haven't figured out if/when he will bite me.
I think he has finally finished his moult so that might possibly effect something. But any help would be much appreciated![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
