I have a Quaker that bites strangers and two particular siblings at random. Not too frequently. One is complaining about it, but when I brought up the fact that with effort the behavior could stop. They started talking about how it's my pet and I should be putting the work into it and how they wanted nothing to do with them. Honestly have no idea what to do about it. He's mostly fine with me, mom, and two other siblings though he bites the other two siblings more than me. He doesn't bite me much unless he's in a mood. My other sibling who he surprise bites was a jerk to him as a young bird, teasing him and stuff. I know I should have socialized him more, but when I first got him, he was even more bitey than now and people didn't seem willing to risk being bitten, so I never brought it up. I just powered through it and did my best to ignore biting and it eventually stopped for me.
He also bites strangers. One person, he flew at and bit hard when he met them (which is unusual cause he doesn't usually do this right off the bat and so hard). I have no idea why he did that. The person didn't even do anything to him. He'll surprise bite this one cousin less viciously. Though this cousin actually likes him somehow, but has to be careful to avoid biting.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
