Hello,
I have had a sweet baby GCC, Tiki for about a week and a few days now. He was such a sweet heart for all this time with only a few bites when he was curious and just feeling with his beak. For the last two days, however, he all the sudden gets an attitude and bites down hard on our fingers and ears. When we try to get him to step up he will just bite at us. The only thing that was changed was his food. He was given to us with a mix of seed and pellet and now he is on all pellet because he was just eating the sunflower seeds out of the mix.
when he bites I don’t react and I just say no in a firm voice and if he bites very hard he will go back to his cage.
Im just so confused because he was such a love bug and so calm before.
I would love some advice to stop this behavior from becoming a habit of his.
thanks
