Joey gave me a nasty bite

[SueA555]

He was flying over to me, like he does every day. I held out my hand, and he landed on my finger. But he lost his balance, and grabbed the first thing he saw -- my cheek. I put him in his cage right away, and put a band aid on my face to stop the bleeding. It wasn't like he did it on purpose. I will let him out again soon.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

Sucks, but at least it was a accident Lurch will get frustrated or something triggers him and we get a pinch or bite. When he does it becuase of something like that it's a bit easier to understand.
Good luck and stay friends and I hope you heal well and quickly

Ouch! Something very similar has happened to me. Once, Ziya got up on my head and slipped forward and - understandably - grabbed the first thing she could reach to stop her fall... unfortunately, that thing was my face. It was 100% my own fault for not immediately removing her, and she's absolutely not allowed to get herself into that situation ever again.

Hope you heal up soon! It's very scary, even when you know they didn't mean to hurt you.

Hope you're ok.

We are doing fine today -- back to normal. My face doesn't hurt anymore, although I may have a scar. Last night Joey and I were a little distant -- he wanted some skritches but didn't cuddle. He is a good birdie.

Jardine's definitely do give nasty bites. Bogart used to grab me really hard when he was trying to land but lose his balance.
