Hello all,
I have been going to a local rescue which has a cute little Goffin I have started working with (the rescue requires you to be able to handle the bird before adoption). He is very cat-like? In behavior as in he wants scratches and attention but then bites out of the blue. Is that typical Goffin behavior? I was told he doesn’t trust anyone to step up but today he hopped onto my arm , which was a huge celebration for both of us! After that he was super sweet and cuddly and affection with no attempts to bite for the rest of my visit. I feel like I’m bonding with this little guy but apparently the previous owner said he was a one person bird. He was bonded to the lady and attacked husband and kids. I live alone so currently not a problem but am still young so planning to have a family in the future. Are “one person” birds always going to be that way? Is there a way to discourage aggressive behavior to other people besides their “chosen”? Any help appreciated. Attaching pics just for cutenes factor
