When do babies REALLY star to bite?

[PickleMeDickles]

I have 3 conures that are a year old. They all like to explore everything with their beaks, including me. They are always gentle (except the GC when she is in a mood) but all in all they are all gentle.

When can I expect occasional / trial hard bites. I know this is a really stupid question but I never want the honeymoon to end!

What can I do now to prevent future problems with hard biting?

Thanks in advance!

Just chiming in because I would like to know too

There's really no way to know. They may chomp tomorrow and they may never chomp. There's no way to know.

Do they chomp as early as 7 weeks and if they do is that an indication that he/she is going to be an aggressive bird?

Babies can have some different reasons than adults to bite, so no.
Also, to address the OP, at a year old your birds are plenty old enough to bite hard if they want to .
