Hi

New housemates moved in a bit over a month ago, they have a green naped lorrikeet. She's 6 months old and pretty good with everyone else but really aggressive with me, she lunges for my fingers, holds on hard when she bites and once bit really close to my eye really hard. She still hops on my feet/shoulder by herself though. I dont recall ever doing anything to upset her, what could this mean?

Thanks

Well you can start here.

The bird is still young and I don't know much about lorikeet behaviour. It's very hard to give any kind of sound advice without knowing more about the situation, what was going on at the time, the people involved etc.
