bite

Slade has been doing so well so I keep trying to see how far he can go slowly. I know he isn't always good passing by people but I tried it today, I walked by my husband sitting on the couch. On the way out he was fine. But on the way back he head bobbed, which usually means happy and excited...

So those of you who have checked out my threads know about Slade and how when I adopted him he mauled my thumb and I still took him home. I saw a traumatized bird who had been through 3 homes till me, who was afraid of hands because of the infamous earthquake method to get a bird to stop biting...

Hello everyone. I have a blue and hold macaw who is now 1 year old. The problem i have with him tho is that he is biting me when he wants to play around. I could manage to ingore it when he was younger but now he can bite really hard sometimes, not in an agressive way but playful. What is the...

... Or is she?... Is she really? o_O Of course she is! I'm thinking this is her way of telling me, "there's no more millet left on here, fill it now human fool!" :)

So we´ve done the eggs... done the mood swings... done with all the aggression... and now she´s calmer again. She is much more active, coming out of her cage more often, flying more and in turn, coming to greet me more. And because she´s not hormonal now, she doesn´t attack the little ones for...

When my budgie was born (she was very little) another one of mu budgies got into her cage and bit her wing, I couldn't get there fast enough to stop it. budgie wing bleeding - Album on Imgur Now my budgie has grown up and her wing looks like this, and keeps bleeding, I think it bleeds because...

Me: Awww my little cuties, have a new toy while I clean the house... Lapis: *turns into a ginormous fluff ball* and Nice :( I think she's still angry with me for taking her dish away yesterday... Apart from her mum my other birds don't fluff up that much, even the pictures don't do it...

I adopted Eddie about a year and a half ago and I don't know his background. Any time I get too close to him, he starts hissing and trying to bite me. He always seems really comfortable around me, but when I try to handle him, he starts going a little crazy. Usually, Eddie and I just sit...

I have experienced one of the weirdest moments with my birds today. I want to share it and see if you guys have any insight as to what may be causing the behavioural shift. So the basic backstory is Aldora and Sydney do NOT get on. They will both attack each other, and neither back down from a...

Hello everyone It's been a while since I posted. Life with Anna is like having a naughty child in the house. Sometimes she is so much fun and so loving and other times she is a very bad girl. She is very affectionate with me and I whenever I go in the aviary or take her out, all she wants to...

I, as of December 30, 2018, Got a new pet conure. I haven’t had a bird for a few years, so I would say I’m learning. He does have a good lifestyle though. Anyways the problem is that he bites you when you hold him or touch his cage. He runs up to bite my finger when I am adjusting things in his...

today, surprisingly, i got bitten by a bird and he drew blood. now, again, luckily it wasn't my bird. I was at my local bird store, and someone had brought their caiques in to be groomed. I asked a little bit about them, picked up the 'nice' one, and went back to hanging out with Jeffrey...

THE FUN NEVER CEASES IN THIS HOUSE!!! Last night I noticed Kraz hobbling, but when I opened his door I realised that the cage was slightly unsteady, and assumed he was just wobbly because the cage moved when I opened his door. This morning I can see it's his leg. Yesterday, Taco...

Hello, I'm sorry for the novel I'm about to write, but I enjoy typing and explaining things in detail. Truth be told, I don't even know where to begin. I of course have been a regular lurker for some time during my research phase over the last 5-6 months. Long short story long, I thought a...

2 months ago I got 2 love birds, they were 38 days and I hand fed them and I played with the one that was supposed to be mine (the other one is my mothers) for two hours plus a day. For the most part the two birds are kept separate. We have noticed that the birds are complete opposites. Her bird...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have lurked quite a while! The reason being that I had met a lovely 6 year old GCC at a bird specialty shop and after a few weeks ended up taking him home with me. I felt confident in his temperament because we spent a lot of time together in the store, which they...

Ok so first I have to introduce myself and my little friend. I'm Calin, from Romania. And recently, about 3 days ago I've bought an cockatiel, named MooShu. The first two days I've stayed in the same room as him, talking or playing relaxing music for Parrots found on youtube. After some hours...

Hey everyone, I hope it's the right place to post this. It's been nearly three and half months since I bought my lil watermelon lovebird (he's nearly 7 months old) but..he seems to act different than other lovebirds I see on social media. He's scared of my fingers, but he doesn't just fly...

Hello I desperately need help. I got my first bird (a male Hahns macaw of 6 months) about 4 weeks ago. He was the sweetest, friendliest bird... up til four days ago. Now he bites all the time and really hard too. He bites my fingers and my face and clings on, it has bled 3 times. He gets...

Hi everyone. So my conure turned one this summer. Its an ever growing experience and I always try to do better. She's been enjoying cuddles, she likes to sit on my chest and get scritches. However for the past few days she'll boop my hands repeatedly and be progressively fluffing up and...
