I have had my Green Cheek Conure for 7 years. She has always been very steady in her behavior and a pretty friendly bird. She would nip on occasion and only gets really triggered by plastic bottles. Until recently. She has started biting hard and will even fly at me to bite me. She has bitten me on my on my hands, face and neck for no reason that I can discern. There have been no major changes in her life, no new pets (she is the only pet in the house). She eats a great diet of fresh veggies and fruits, sprouts and Harrison's pellets, which has been her diet for many years. I am at a loss, as I am becoming very frustrated and don't trust her and it is really affecting our bond. She gets plenty of time out of her cage and if I am home she is with me. She used to be allowed to be on my shoulders but I no longer trust her. I have recently read up on clicker training and have started a bit with that. I would love any suggestions on how to curb this behavior and get my sweet bird back. Thank you in advance.
