Hi everyone!
Recently Zazu became very interested in my feet, it’s kinda creepy :hilarious:

His eyes start pinning and even though he’s only 4 months old, he makes heart wings and regurgitates (eats it himself though):wacky: After that he starts “exploring” my toes and nips and then bites it harder and harder..

is there any way I can reinforce this reaction?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that when you asked how to reinforce it, that was a typo.

To discourage the behavior, you would want to move him away from your feet and try to keep him away from them. Prevention is best, but if you aren't able to always do that effectively, you can take him away from your feet when he starts doing the behavior and give him a toy or paper to shred to distract him. :)

Wear socks. :) A lot of birds are weird about feet.
