I have a problem with my newest parrot- a quaker. He is a 2yo male.
He likes to hang out with people, will sing, and fly to you to check out what are you doing. The thing is- whenever there's a piece of skin in his reach, he will start preening and then biting really hard out of nowhere. He doesn't have any fear of hands, everyone is able to pet him. He will also fly up to you and sit on your arm... but for about 10 seconds before he' starts preening, and then- biting.
When I work on my PC or read, he will come to me and start doing it, completely undisturbed (he will do it also when playing, so he doesn't; do it for attention). He does it only with skin- he doesn't like toys and he doesn't bite any furniture.
