Bitey little lovie

[CharisNIchigo]

Hello everyone
I am still new here
Does anyone know why does my lovebird bite other people's toes when she is near me while I'm lying down? Is it just protectiveness or just curiosity?
Thanks

I do think it's a playfulness thing. I don't quite understand it but it's not aggressive or anything like that.

I would say both , but among the Love bird world toe bitting is a federal offense, I'm always on them to not do that to each other, it takes time but it has stopped quiet a bit. the beak is a tool to one up each other, as part of the flock they listen to me . With a long wooden stick I keep breaking them up.

Zazu loves to bite toes!!! I think it's a game for him, because he knows the toes will flinch and he'll be able to run after them and bite them again. I just avoid having bare feet around Zazu, it's not really a big deal.
