Hi everyone! I recently adopted a baby GCC conure male named Jello. (previously I introduced him on here as Ziggy, but his name has since changed). He's a super sweet guy just trying to figure out how the world works, and he's so cuddly. But he bites... hard. He starts out by slowly pinching me, and gets harder and harder. Its almost like he's tesrting the waters to see how hard he can bite before he gets a reaction. When he gets his satisfactory 'OW! JELLO STOP!', he starts dancing and singing all happy with his eyes pinning. Is this normal?? This is completely random and he is not showing any signs of discomfort/being upset. I think he just doesn't know that his bites hurt. I can tolerate it, but my boyfriend is now scared to handle him because of this. Is this something he'll grow out of? He's only 2 months old so he's really young. He's very friendly to everyone but prefers me as his person. All I'm asking for is tips to counteract this biting if there's any way, or if this is a baby-phase he'll grow out of. Thank you all for your time!
