Hi everyone. As some of you may know I have a new addition to my flock. Maccardi is a red fronted macaw. He is 7 months.
He is so sweet and playful. He is very bitey (is that a word?). Anyway he does two things. he'll find a freckle or the smallest amount of skin and nibble-ouch!!!! He also bears down sometimes a little too hard. I try distracting him when he does this with a toy our something to chew on but once he drops his toy he's looking for skin or fingers. Is he testing me and how do I correct this?
Thanks
