Hi everyone! New conure owner here. I’ve had my baby since April and he’s going to be 5 months in about 2 weeks.
I’ve noticed in the past week my baby is nipping us a lot when he spends time with us. He likes spending time with my brother and I and when he’s with us everything is up for grabs: fingers, ears, nose, lips. He doesn’t bite but he will get to a point where he nips and pinches skin enough that it hurts a bit. Everything is a chew toy. He isn’t being aggressive. Any input and what we can do to teach him to stop so it doesn’t turn into something more serious? He does have toys in his cage as well that he plays with and loves destroying.
thanks in advance!
