New bird pet Sun Conure 4 months

Congrats on your new baby! Conures are known for being very clingy birds - they want to be near and around you. Baby birds are curious and naturally want to explore with their beaks.

Bite Pressure Training...huh?

Whilst reading a thread last night, I saw members referring to bite pressure training. In all my research since getting Percy, I've never come across this concept. Please enlighten me - what is it and how does one do it?

This just seems like friendly talking to me. Based on his body language and vocals here I'd say he is just chatting to you and wants attention.

I hope so because when I put him under my palm and hold him he stops.
