Biting Conure

[YogiBird]

I have an 8 month old green cheek conure and shes a cuddle bug. She is very sweet with people and loves attention, but now for some reason shes decided that she wants to bite. She is fed TOPS pellets, fruits and veggies. She has a lot of toys to chew on and a lot of outside time. She flies to me specifically to pick at my face, ears and fingers. I have tried cage time out, removing her and offering distractions, but she is DEAD SET on doing it. I once went through removing her from me for a half hour and she STILL didn't want to stop.

Please help

8 months? Yup, that's puberty. No advice other than limit daylight to 8 hours a day and only pet her head and neck. Good luck!
