Okay I have been going through all the old threads about biting and there seems to be a general consensus that making the bird step up or ladder is a good way to stop the biting. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I have a very confident very snuggly 5 month old CBC who will be fine one moment then the skin around my knuckles turns into her favorite chew toy. I try my hardest not to cry out as she attempts to skin my knuckles and attempt to ladder her...sometimes it works other times she grabs a finger with beak and feet flips upside down and attacks my skin like it is a game. I try my hardest not to get upset,raise my voice, and not make a peep, but man it is hard sometimes I just can't help to say ouch! She has plenty of outside time from her cage-4-5 hours throughout the day large cage 30x30x60 and her toys are rotated and is fed a pelleted diet with fruits and veggies with safflower seeds for her training. (shes an angel if there is food involved). So my question is am I somehow teaching her too bite and enforcing it without even knowing? She does not seem angry or scarred when she bites it just looks like how she plays with her toys except with my skin. I do allow her to snuggle on my chest and shoulder when she is calm but if biting start up I immediately bring her to my hand and ladder her and if that isn't working I put her on playtop on top of her cage.
