I got glasses today and I went to see Winnie. He got really scared of them and flew away :(.
They are just reading glasses but I mostly read WITH him, he eventually calmed down ;). He is a bit curious about them and has started to have a little nibble of them. He wont let me get my face close to him because he will just lean back and then fly away :arghh:

Is there any way to get him used to them?
How do i stop him chewing on them and breaking them?

Time and positive reinforcement.

They’re just brand new so give him some time to realise they’re not a threat to his safety.

Don't let him chew on them, once he gets used to them :rolleyes:

Tteok (and later Pudge) thought the arms of my glasses were so nifty because they're shiny.

I agree with Xoetix, Spearmint's broken my mothers glasses TWICE now. The moment he gets a chance he's on them and biting :lol:

I wish my birds were afraid of my glasses...and my work Teams headset. They think they are chew toys just for them.
