'dont forget to reward your bird when they're being nice and quiet'
Me immediately petting my green cheek and telling him that he's a good boy while munching on his dried banana
Well said! I do the same for my GCC 😉🐦💓
I constantly tell my gcc she's a good bird and so gentle when she's with me. But when she indicates it's time for her to go back to her cage, she'll start biting but once she's on, she clenches my finger with one foot - she *has* to have one more bite.
@@KimBouchard mine does the exact same thing!!
My bird used to bite when I asked for a step up. What I started doing was holding my hand far enough that she couldn't bite it, and wait for her to show me that she intends on stepping up (usually a foot reaching forward). She also would bite my hand while I was holding her if she wanted to go down. I started paying more attention to her subtle cues that she wanted to go down, and if she resorted to biting without showing any cues, I would wait for her to stop before putting her down. She very quickly learned that biting isn't the way to communicate her wants, and so she now leans towards where she wants to be put down when she's done with me.
I have tried holding my hand far enough as not to be bit. My Catalina lifts her foot, but tries to bite. It's like she is luring me in for the kill.
Haha rekt
My bird is a baby so idk how to tell Bc he only gives warning bites but he’s very playful and likes to chew on fingernails and on calluses and he goes hard asf sometimes
My problem is that every step onto the hand involves the beak first lightly on my finger and 95% of the time it's not a bite but ... when it is it's a hard one. I used to think I was brave!
What kind of species of birds u have
The way Rocko closes his eyes when he's getting pets, you can tell he's in heaven..
Allen Earnest my conure those that too
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for parrot training cd try Parrot Ploy Plan ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
@@maiguelmoreno9027 great.... but pls don't advertise other stuff here. We get great results with these guys advice. And I am certain of the advice given here. It is gold, spot on, A1 plan that I, not my friend, but me, personally, get great results from. Cheers.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about parrot training tips try Dalz Parrot Tips Discovery (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
@@divierteteconmanuel3669 errr, you are on one of the pre-eminent parrot trainers vids, maybe advertising another trainer is possibly not the best thing to do? We get great results following Birdtricks. Cheers.
The biggest difference in aggression for my rescue severe was the diet change. When she finally started accepting the seasonal chop within a week she was like a different bird. It fixed so many seemingly random aggression issues.
We just took a course on parrot nutrition and they said that some foods encourage sexual behavior and can be turned into aggression. I wonder if that was the case. So happy for your progress!
Can you explain what is seasonal chop and what diet you provided to your birds??
@Taher its a bird tricks signature diet. Its something that all parrot owners should strive to be able to provide.
How did you get your severe to eat the chop? I am dealing with a 4 year old severe macaw that I got 3 weeks ago, he was apparently on a crappy diet. I can't get him to eat much of anything besides nuts. I have tried A LOT. I continue to give him chop, even have tried fruit. I bought the seasonal feeding system but there aren't many tips in there for diet conversion. So I could make it all up, but it's getting him to eat it. He bit me this evening when I was trying to hand him a mango. I immediately put him back in his cage. He's lucky I am hard headed. I won't give up on him. I think his big issue is DIET. I can't even clicker train him at this point because I have no treat value.
It's hard for people who can barely afford to feed themselves buying all those veggies and fruits just to make chop and have them refuse it for awhile isn't exactly efficient
My bird came to me a biter. I have had him 3 months. He is 10 yrs old. He bites with no warnings. Can you do a video about pre established biters? Thank you
Have you had any luck fixing the problems? My family's bird is okay with me but flys and bites any human walking by. Sometimes she even tries to get my dogs. No one else wants to work on training with her in cage, and they give her treats despite her lunging while they walk by. Now she lunges when ever someone walks by.
@@Cat-di9lg both of you target train. Get into target training. TARGET TRAINING. It will help a lot.
Did J.J. Abrams direct this video? (lol, lens flare joke)
😂
Well done.
I always watch my sun conures body language. He hasn’t ever bit me luckily!
A random question:have you ever had cockatiels?If yes can you please do a video about them?
Ok if I will have I will
she has at least one. It's "how to tain a frightened cockatiel" but its not on this format, its a client's bird i believe
I found that with smaller parrots and parrakeets (Its all I have) , if I am copping a bite, I do NOT pull away, as hard as that is to do. Rather, I push into the bite. This achieves two things for me. The bird does not get rid of me WITH the bite (I'm not stupid, I do stop whatever it is, but I do not allow the bite to be successful in the birds mind). And by pushing into it, the bird HAS to let go. They find it uncomfortable and it has been my experience that - for untamed birds and established biters - they tend to dislike that and stop doing it because it does not work
The sounds Rocko is making sounds a bit like a cat purring :D That's how happy and content at that moment he is :D
I love how Toucans purr when their happy its so precious
3:52 - 4:30 *looks at my african grey as I watch this who I haven't taken out yet, making the happy cute content sounds. Shrugs shoulders, opens cage, gives scritches and a treat, grey makes happier sounds and flys to his favorite spot*
P.s. my grey is the sweetest and has no history of biting, and is very responsive to me. I just thought it was a sweet moment as I was watching your video. Keep up the good work!
My bird bites when your holding him I think he’s bored when he’s sitting on you I don’t know how to fix it
Great Video! I teach parenting and one of my favorite qoutes is, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. So encourage parents to pay more attention to the good behaviors. Which as you pointed out are so easily ignored. I would love to see more examples of #4. As a new bird owner, I have yet to recognize what "cute behaviors actually are precursors of trouble.. CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THAT? THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
I recommend watching their video “Parrot body language 101” as it goes over the ‘cute’ behaviours that could be aggressive
ua-cam.com/video/B_BKExLup_s/v-deo.html
I "tamed" 3 totally untangled budgies in one week and didn't get bit once using the same tips you talk about here.
I honestly started out wondering how I would avoid getting bitten and immediately thought of your words that birds bite when they feel like they have no other way to communicate what they want.
My solution: let them free in my house with every possible way of getting away from me. Not only did this jump start their flight training by allowing them to practice/learn flying skills, but it means that if I push too hard there's no need to bite because they ALWAYS have the option to fly away.
It has been one week since I got them, changed them over to chop instead of seed, and now they fly to me willingly (for some spray millet!) instead of flying away.
Since it's hard to hide spray millet around, I committed to wearing my treat pouch around the house ALL THE TIME for a week so I could quickly reward movement toward me and it has 100% been worth it.
This is exactly what I tell new bird owners where I work because everyone thinks it can’t be done with budgies but that’s exactly how I did it with all of mine. I tell them pick a small area like a bathroom and bird proof it before releasing them and then just sit in there talking to them for a while. Once fear is gone, they can step up.
My bird follows me and flies to me, he’s chill for a bit then starts biting me
*Liar.*
The biggest myth I read on EVERY UA-cam training is that budgies only bite because they’re afraid. Mine would literally fly over to me to bite me when he was bored or molting. He was not scared but I was reinforcing the biting following advice he needed reassurance aka reinforcing biting. Then I followed my own gut and figure it out and changed his patterns slightly and would not let him on me when he’d show signs he was going to bite. He broke the pattern for sure.
My budgie bites me for the fun of it. He loves to sit on my hand in his cage and play with his toys from a different angle: Bite the toy, bit the toy, bite the toy, turn and bite the hand, bite the toy, bite the hand harder, ooh that was fun and squishy - bite, bite BITE. I take my hand away - he's mad at me taking my hand away, so he bites and holds on. Or he lands on my head and doesn't to come down (his preening gets very rough - he would tear off my eyebrow or eyelashes if I left him up there), so he bites my hand when I ask him to step up. Or I will treat him for good behavior, then he jumps on me and bites when I take the treat away. "I am boss! Give me treats or else!" Some days I think we're making great progress, but the next day he'll be psycho biting bird again. *sigh* My other budgie is so sweet and gentle.
I watch the body language carefully and don't react when they bite
I have a really hard time not reacting.
@@KimBouchard its tuff , but yelling making a loud noise just encourages it..(
I find it depends on you relationship with the bird and the bird's personality. For example, if the bird likes you, reacting by leaving the room will be a negative reinforcer. But if it hates you, leaving the room will be positive. And some birds, if they get no reaction at all, will just double down and bite harder and harder. While that may not be a huge issue with conures and the like, with macaws and toos, that can become dangerous to the point of broken bones.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 lol..I found that out when my Yellow-shouldered first became hormonal. I was literally shaking afterwards
@@KimBouchard I have it pretty easy, my birds bites barely hurt!!
i always love the screaming cockatoo in the corner
My grey likes to come to me, climb my arm, and just start nipping me. Small hard bites. I don’t know why he does this but it does hurt. Has anyone had this problem?
I don’t think there is a way to stop a lovebird from biting 😂 it’s like they know what parts of the body hurt the most when they bite and they choose those spots.
My bird also fluffed up and started talking to rocko😂😂 he was like who the heck is that mom
I had a male lovebird in the past who never bit in his entire life. But my current lovebird bites all the time even though she wants to be on me constantly and I hand raised her. So confusing and frustrating.. I wish I knew how to teach her to stop. I've tried every tip and trick I can find online. Nothing works
Deborah Kimbel I also hand raised Pablo and he was soooo sweet till around 6 months then he got nippy lol he is glued to me at all times tho
Yes! We have a 6 month old female lovebird who is so cute but she hates hates anyone touching her or her cage. She bites so hard! Anyway - we need a Bird Tricks video just for handling lovebirds lol! So sweet one minute and brutal the next minute with the biting! My avian vet said in general they don’t live up to their name, especially the females. Super. But we keep working with her in hopes we can build a good relationship with her in time. She’s a feisty one for sure. 😬
My pigeon just pecks, he especially pecks at freckles/ moles, and he swoops everyone including myself (around feeding times) my bird doesn’t really like males and flies away in fear, have you had any birds like that?
I had bird like that he was male and hated males his past owner probably was a male and did something to him that made the bird scared of males.
Pigeons are wildly different than parrots (and even ringneck doves). I would recommend theramseyloft on Tumblr and here on UA-cam for info about them.
Squid Fry but training methods and some foods for pigeon and doves are the same as parrots. Me personally have had a lot of success with this channel, my bird was super hormonal.
Squid Fry information: ex racer pigeon, kept in large fast growing flock, we rescued 2 I didn’t make it, 3 years later, all I asked was if anyone had a bird scared of a specific gender, parrots also have this problem and training methods to resolve this are almost exactly the same.
@@franchescamadden442 pigeons are not like parrots. While yes, some training is the same, diet is wildly different (pigeons are strict seed and grain eaters, and cannot digest plant matter). Pigeons are also not like parrots in their social behaviors, and behavior varies a LOT by gender. Male attract female by displays of physical strength, and are promiscuous (though they bond with one bird as their "wife" and will raise any peeps she produces, whether it's from him or a different male). Male pigeons very very rarely want any kind of contact like cuddling, since pigeon makes do not allow anyone but their wife to preen them. Males will be aggressive to anyone that they have not chosen as their wife (and they WILL chose someone), no matter training, because thats how males show female that they are worthy mates. Females are more cuddly, and more likely to be social with multiple people, since they mate with multiple males, and do not much have to worry about impressing their husband. They will lay a clutch of two eggs and brood them. Pigeons and parrots are very very different and you cannot expect one to act like the other.
I have a Indian ring neck she always bite and bleed. I just want to tame her. Please help😔😔
My bird just randomly attacks me for no reason
My bird literally tore out my ear piercing today so thank you for this video 😅
Ouch! I have had that happen before with my Cocateil Tweetie. I had a freaking cartilage earring and he pulled it out with just a flick of his neck and beak and tossed it across the room.
In another note on biting and bad behavior, I got your 3 books of feeding for parrots. They have been truly amazing for me- our African gray no longer throws food or seed which he has done for years. he so excited every day for his “lunch”. . I am so glad to have expanded his diet. Thank you his overall behavior has improved in most areas. .🐦🐦
Hello Kathryn, how're you doing today!!!
Great advice, thank you! Can you discuss what to do if you make a mistake, don't read body language, get in a situation accidentally, etc, and your bird actually DOES bite you? People say not to react, but I've had some pretty severe damage from B&G Macaw bites, and it's hard not to pull away and react when they bite HARD and latch on! Then what do I do after the bite? Try to just stay calm, not cry, and act like nothing happened? I need advice! Thank you!
i have been applying 3 of these techniques. i am so proud
My conure loves my husband but bites at things at his neck or ear. He flies to him any time my husband is in the room but always finds things to bite on him at. He does not do this to me. He will stay on my shoulder and never nibble on me.
My husband would love to hold him but can’t stand the nipping.
I know he likes my husband because he is sweet and cuddles but too nippy
Love your videos. Practical information presented in an accessible and easily understandable way. Lots of excellent advice. As parrot parents it really is essential for us to understand the behaviour, body language and psychology of our little friends. Experts say that parrots don’t respond to punishment or discipline so the best way to train them is to ignore bad behaviour and reward them when they behave well. As you so rightly say: Remember and reward good behaviour! Also I love that you mentioned the importance of health - I found out the hard way that parrots bite when they’re in pain. I had a beautiful little girl Green Cheek Conure who was 4yo and had always been an absolute angel but suddenly started biting me so hard that she’d draw blood (which was totally uncharacteristic behaviour). I took her to the vet and discovered that she had an inoperable brain tumour that would’ve been causing her a great deal of physical pain - which was apparently the reason she was biting. She had no other way to let me know she was in pain. Admittedly that’s an extreme case, but I think it’s important to consider a bird’s baseline health when trying to work out why they might be biting.
I have a Java sparrow which is not exactly a parrot... but he is SUPER aggressive. We first thought it was a good thing that he was biting in everything and everyone (because he’s only 6 weeks old and needs to explore everything) but now I’m starting to think he could use a little no-biting training haha! Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful!
Hello shanna, how're you doing okay....
I don’t have a bird yet but I’m planning on getting one in the next few years and your videos have been great help with research
(I’ve also started a journal of bird tips to help remember everything)
Did you get it?
Howd you go?
Ah yes the age old question... and everyone seems to always have different answer. Thanks for the 5 inputs! Reminded me to be in tune with their body language :)
"camera, oh my god you can do it" ...you forgot to say when it focused "good job" :)
That’s what I love about you Jamie!! You’re so willing to admit your mistakes. It shows everyone makes mistakes but you can always stop it and change it,
I just adopted 2 congo african greys from a really bad situation. One is 20 years old, she's been plucking for 10 years from what I'm told, the other one is 17 years old & he is very aggressive. They've been locked in their cages their entire lives, on an all seed diet.. I've had them for for 5 days. Introducing them to organic produce & been making mash. I let them out of their cages & they are willing. They stay on their cage doors (2 separate cages) I know I have a LOOONG road to build trust. The female doesn't show aggressive behavior, but doesn't want anything hands on besides taking treats gently from my hand. The male that is 17 is extreme aggressive & is out to bite me every moment he has. He's very territorial & full of anxiety. I'm hoping their diet change (I ordered 5 different pellets that were highly recommended to slowly covert off of seed) & out of cage interaction helps. I feel a little discouraged & overwhelmed, but I'm committed for life.
Can you do a video on gaining trust from an abused older parrot? Maybe more would be willing to adopt rehomed birds in need. Thank you for this! ❤❤
Man I was hoping this video would help me but I didn't get any answers that fit my situation. My birds bites my hands constantly.. she wants to be on me but she attacks my hands. This is not my 1st bird but she is the only bird I've had who does this. I hand raised her from a chick and she started nipping at about 7 weeks and hasn't stopped.. I've tried not reacting but it does nothing she will just continue to bite as long as I let her. I've tried saying no bite and removing her from me but then she flies straight back and starts again. I've tried saying no loudly and then she gets even madder and will attack more aggressively and even come at my face. I've tried putting her in time out after each bite and again I'm not seeing any progress. I keep working with her and hoping to fix this problem. Help me please 🥺
I’m in the same situation I don’t know what to do !
My guess is that she just gets fun out of biting and that the biting itself is reinforcing. She might find it fun, might be bored so whenever she bites you and gets a reaction then that’s her fun. Try giving her other things to bite and chew on, reinforce her for playing with other toys and biting those instead of you
@@twistytw I definitely think she enjoys biting.. she has tons of toys in and outside of her cage.. she has a large play stand as well.. I bought her her own toy phone, keys and remote control since she loves to attack mine so much.. she has a really cool abacus as well.. and suction cup perches on all of our windows so she can fly from perch to perch.. she is literally spoiled rotten lol
Twisty T W.. you got me thinking and I'm going to work on training her to engage her brain a little more.. perhaps even with all her toys boredom is still the problem. Thank you for your help.
Deborah Kimbel There is no use to the toys if she doesn’t use them! I think training her to take full advantage of all of her toys and doing more brain exercises like you suggested could benefit a lot. At the end of the day she should get more enjoyment out of biting a toy than she does biting you, I’m sure you know that though!
I keep trying to train my hird not to bote ect but he doesnt doesn't like food that much do u have any tips ❤
Dakota Hodge what’s his diet? If he is on a seed mix he might not be as motivated because treats are in his everyday diet
If he's on a good diet and treats still aren't high value, there are other motivators. You can try praise, toys, or scratching their head.
Mackenzie Harper wow, no one cares
I had a seizure trying to read that
Mackenzie, profane language is unacceptable. Dakota is asking for help, be nice or be quiet.
You are the best 🥰
Kawaiii ❤️❤️
African grey lovers unite 😘
The smaller the bird, the better the bite
This is true among lovebird owners XD
I love my cockatiel. The only time he trys to bite is when he's sleeping, or my budgies are pissing him off. 😂 Other than that, he's the biggest suck you've ever seen.
Angel would never bite me but he does bite other people. I don't know what to do.
Is it because they arnt as good at reading body language? Perhaps try doing taget training with the other individual with them clicking but you giving the treat. I think she has an older video on that
@@joybreegaming8781 I thinkits because of me he gets really jealous if any one or thing comes around me. He chases the pit bull around the house too. The dog is so scared of him. But angel gets made if I pet him.
You mean none of the solutions is to bite them back?
How do you keep your house disinfected and still keep it safe for your flock's respiratory systems during a pandemic?
There are disinfectant sprays that are safe for birds, you can get them at pet supply stores.
Can you pls make a vid about teaching birds to be braver I have a budgie which is quite skittish
yes please!
Search “bravery” on my channel, I have some 💕
My baby macaw was chilling on my lap throughout the video that I played on the TV, then when Rocko started making noise she literally jumped in my arms and was inconsolable. She never reacts to anything (breeder desensitized her very well) so it was unexpected and quite entertaining but I shouldn't laugh because she was really upset. Thanks for putting out the information since most bites are the fault of the human! Good tips!
Hello there!!!
So glad you mentioned reinforcing the quiet bird. So important!!
Hello there, how're you?
Such sweet Rocko footage! I feel like I’ve learned so much about how to read bird body language from this channel, but I still find toucans really difficult to read. Nice to see him so obviously content!
I think the reason why my Sulfur Crested Cockatoo Alfie bites me is related to eye contact. We went over a year since the last bite but earlier this week he tried to take the thumb off my left hand as I was stroking him prior to putting him in his cage at bed time. His punishment was to be ignored for two days and get no strokes or treats. I cant convey just how painful it is having a bite from a creature with a bite pressure of 400-880 pounds per square inch. Alfie is absolutely fearless and scares the **** out of my Rottweiler Bella.
I acquired a rehomed Congo African grey a few weeks ago. Everything was going very smoothly until a few days ago. He is not a morning person and prefers to be up late. I’m trying to get his sleep more in line with ours and my other birds. I have started to put him away earlier and he has started biting me every time I put him in his cage. It’s to the point that he latches on HARD and I have to pull his beak off me. he had never bit me before and this is really becoming an issue. He now rarely steps up and prefers my husband because my husband never does anything with him except give him the occasional treat. My husband put him in the cage last night and he didn’t bite, but I think he was confused as to what was happening. I did not punish him or even act bothered when he did bite me and continued doing what I was doing. I knew he wasn’t biting out of fear, but just to get his way. I understand a fearful bird, but this is not that and I am at a loss. Please help! I am tired of having bloodied and bruised hands.
I got a quaker 2 months ago, I have no experience whatsoever with birds, I went to the store to get food for my rabbit and saw him/her all sad and brought it home with me but he is not friendly at all I had been able to pet his head once only every time I get close enough to touch him he tries to bite me so I stop but is really frustrating because I have 5 dogs and im used to give and receive love from them and Pistachio is plain mean to me 😂 any tips?
Kinda hard to reward him, when all he wants to do is kill me now :-( . From the inside of the cage. Once hes out , he tries to attack me as well. We (myself, husband, the teenagers) raised him from a tiny BABY . Kevin does the puffy thing too. He is FIVE and just now the hormones are flooding in... AND he is territorial with his cage. Before he "turned" on us My 15 year old (the last person in the house he was bonded to after "choosing" her) was doing recall training. I had taught him 2 tricks (roll over, and turn around) years ago he still knows and happily would do for a sun flower treat. She was also slowly (very slowly) training him to get used to a harness, never pushy..just teeny tiny baby steps rewarding every small bit of progress. He was putting his head through the hole for a treat. That is hoe far she got with him, on that.
One thing I can say we did start doing a month ago, was those scented plug ins. Could that cause him to act funny? I thought it would be ok because he was the only one out in the family room, and all my parrotlets were on the other side of the house. I guess we need to look into booking a consult with you. I had a youtube account I can no longer sign into . I forgot my email or password one day and YT never let me recover it. I tried several times. Any-hoo you can see how much we worked with Kevin on " The Parrot Blog" channel. But now he attacks me, (and my daughter if he randomly chooses). P.S. He is not clipped and I am very PRO flighted/against clipping when it comes to parrots. I feel that if we clipped him, it would make him worse.
Omygod I was just so worried about my greencheek conure biting me thank you so much for this video>
Do these tips apply to Budgies as well?
Yes
My bird is so random. He may go to try to bite me when I put food in his bowl. Or he'll want attention and I give him pets and then get tries to bite. I can't find a commonality.
We have a hormonal female eclectus, so you can imagine how much we appreciate this video
I’m so glad I got to see Rocco. I love his talking. Or bird noises or whatever you call the sounds they make. Your videos make me so happy! Thank you! Hi Capri!! Nana Janet 🐣😘❤️
My problem is that my bird loves me and doesn't bite me, but if my brother or dad tries to pet her, she gets cery defensive and bites everyone. Anyway to stop this
Yes, there is. You ignore your bird for a few days, maybe a week or 2. Not completely tho, you're still there, just more in the background than usual. The people she dislikes pay attention to your bird. Star t slowly by just letting them replace food and water. Slowly you let other people do more with your bird. If the bird isnused to them and accepts them, then you can start picking up on giving the bird attention again.

I have a baby bird that is starting to bite EVERYTHING my nails, my hair, his toys, his cage, his perches, my clothes... Absolutely nothing is safe... But the chop. Biting that? Hell no, give me your hand back, human
I got my budgie 3 months ago, and he is starting to get pretty tame, but he has gotten a biting problem. He can fly to my hand on his own, but it seems like when he gets bored, he starts to bite my hand and fingers really hard. I don’t react to it, because I have seen online that you shouldn’t give it any attention but I don’t really see a change and he keeps on biting harder and harder, and I don’t know what to do.
10:00 his beak looks like a machete and he sounds like a ak47 😆 and i thought my parrots has big beaks 🙄
Lovely vids 🤍🙏🏽
My African Grey, Mango, is a complete angel with me. He has only bitten me a few times and that has either been when he's been tangled in my hair or I've pushed my boundaries. But he will NOT STOP BITING OTHER PEOPLE! he bit my cleaning lady, attacks my mum and brother constantly and went after my brother's girlfriend. I have noticed that it is usually people who are talking to me. Everyone is shit scared and I really don't want him to be unsociable and locked in his cage for long hours when I have people over, so what can I do?
I have two pet Cockatiels One was given to us by a previous owner because he passed away we bought the female which was hand reared but she has learnt from our male cockatiel to be wild? everytime i try to feed the cockatiels the male in particular starts to hiss / open beak towards my hand movement he really doesnt like seeing my hands at all also if i do try to pet him his bites arent exactly painful he tends to bite me but it feels like nothing doesnt break skin then he flies away and goes into a panic state.. im no birb whisperer so i cant tell what to do i have tried to feed him from my hands to show hey im innocent im a good person i wont hurt you which happened ONCE but thats cos i introduced a treat for him and he got excited to go eat it
Basically i want my bird to trust me and my hands and prevent him from trying to hiss/open his mouth at me when i try to swap his water or food also when i stand near the cage i do talk and sing songs and he does chirp back in a happy tone but yeah i dunno what his deal is maybe my birb is broken?
Hi I’m sorry but are you ACTUALLY going to give advice on how to stop my bird from biting?
Like some people say to just put bird down when it bites or hold it’s beak softly fir a few seconds. I don’t know something like that?
My BFs african grey tricks me...! The bird wants to be near me, he's very curious and likes to play with me. We sing and whistle, talks alot when he's in his cage. But when he gets out he turn silent.. I can train him to sing and speak.. but only in his cage.. Don't know why he turn silent when out and about.
BUT .. often when he signals he wants to come up on my hand and when he steps up he bites down really hard. He yawns to trick me that he's chill and fine, so I approach to give him a cuddle, a fruit/nut treat or see if he wants to hang with me and watch some tv. If he gives me zero interest to my hand I move away and do my thing. But... It's like he thinks "Yeah, I really don't want to do it, but if I do it I can bite you..." He even steps up... THEN he bites!
Recently I belive that it's like 70% he bites me and hurts me bad, this weekend my finger got a really deep cut near my knuckle and got very swollen. And 40% he actually wants a cuddle/playtime. I try really hard to look for the signs, but the birds comes to me on his free will (sometimes flies over to me even!) and tricks me. He lifts one foot, yawns and make the "cuddlefluff" look.
This channel learns me alot.. please make something on how to handle a trickster-parrot ! D: My hands hurt! The bird is very smart and about 15 years old.
Green cheek, yellow sided Conyer eight months old suddenly little terror I’ve only had him for a month. I say him, but I don’t really know yet waiting upon DNA at any rate, biting really hard and bruising my neck and under my chin it’s excruciating so he has not drawn blood. It’s come very close and I just can’t live in fear how do I know when it’s time or how do I prevent this? help?
But what about baby birds that are not being aggressive but are just curious and checking you out? I visited the 14-week old baby caique that I will take home once it is weaned today, and it bit me a couple of times very hard (once bruising my skin and breaking the skin leaving beak marks). He was not being vicious in any way at all but just curious - for example biting a freckle on the back of my hand. Caiques are known for nipping but how do you make them understand not to bite your skin too HARD? Being a baby bird he was just innocently exploring with his beak. It hurt bad but I didn’t react at all, but I did put him back in his cage about that time because he seemed to be getting pretty bites/nippy. How do you make baby parrots understand NOT to bite too hard?
I'm sorry, but I don't think a bird can bite???
It can nip but certainly not bite.
I put this question/theory out for everyone to digress.
Prove me wrong.✌️👍
My parrot clicks at me LOUDLY when I go to get him out him out of his cage. It sounds like chuckling I guess but I can never find anyone talking about anything similar. I’ve had him for ten years now and we’re really close but he’s so protective over his cage. He only does it to me, and occasionally my sister but never to my mum or dad. Even if I’m trying to feed him outside of the cage, he clicks and tries to bite me, but then goes right back to making loving noises so he doesn’t hate me or anything? I had a female parrot of the same breed and she didn’t click and just made a warning advance.
My lorikeet wasn't hand tamed.
She wants to be with me especially on my shoulders.
And wants to bite anything including my ears.
If I try to play with her.when she doesn't want to.
She gets really agressive.
Just biting anything .
She or he is about 3 months old now.
Hard to explain.
My new adopted Goffin bites me because she doesn’t like me. How can I discourage this? She is not afraid.
Why is mine bitting!!??? use to be loving....now has evil...will come all excited to me and jump into my hand...and then bite like crazy with no movement or anything then leaves?
If Jamie wasn't freakin gorgeous, that lens flare in the middle of her face would bother me, but, lucky for me, it dont. 😁😉
Wait... I’m confused
@@breyanna6951 you see the circle on her face? Lol?
My bird just randomly started to bite me. We sat quietly and the next thing he attacked. It is now day 4. He charges my hands if I try to pick something up from the floor
I have a big kind of old parrot, Green of course, and he always bites or makes attempts to snap/bite at me or my mother whenever we both always trying and of course making sure that he's fed and comfy in the cage but whenever it comes down to him sleeping we always have a cloth or double cloth to cover him down but he snaps/bites at that to. Any
suggestions for that?
Plus edit: whenever me or my mother try to train him, he always bites at her mostly because I don't know exactly why.
Plus, he's the type to join in to loud talking and makes his own annoyance, our behavior towards is mostly up and down because of reasons to complicated to explain honestly, Maybe due to reasons that our previous pets were dogs and they died in the hand of a person that we still live with.....
Please, any suggestions and advice?
My cockatiel has been biting a lot recently ever since I had to replace his light with an Arcadia Puresun light. The mounting arm is quite close to the top of the cage, where Tweetie Pie likes to hang out. He is awfully close to the light a good part of the day if he is not flying around the room. Do you think this close proximity (which he loves) could be making him hormonal and thus, more bitey? Thanks
Could u help me with your advice? My new parrot only have him 8 days she's 2 1/2 years old Indian ringneck....she bites all the time inside the cage and outside...she is territorial of the kitchen counter and if I open cover doors she goes mad and wants to see what's inside specially the washing machine. But I am afraid of her as she doesn't trust me and she bites if a hand is near her. What can I do? Did I give her to much freedom from the beginning?
Should I leaver in the cage and take her out for shortest periods until she gets use to us...
I would appreciate your help as I am frustrated and I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Is the clicker thing necessary? Ive been just raising my voice and saying "good boyyyy" in like a high tone anytime he does good. And a low tone when he bites i say "ow ow owwww" and put him back in the cage.
Ok wow maybe her diet but my umbrella cockatoo is always trying to attack me when my back is turned or she tries to cuddle up under my pjs or blanket she attacks n hisses at me it’s becoming worse n I know she could become hormonal last yr she laid 6 eggs , last yr as her n I were playing she went for my left leg I pulled it up n it landed in a empty laundry basket the. It went sideways under a cabinet I just had a fix in my tibia now after 9 moths of pain n not able to correct it I had a total knee replacement 7 weeks ago because of my parrot trying to attack me. We live with 2 dogs 13 yrs old she is 22 yrs old n I’m 66 this yr . Plz plz I need help I can’t understand why she is becoming more aggressive. She sleeps long 12 hrs . But she screams sl loud my dogs cry n this is as soon as I just go behind a curtain I can’t even go to the potty it’s horrible n I’m deaf in my right earth from her screaming into it . She suts outside all summer n flys wherever she wants she doesn’t fly away . I’m at my wits end here I want a peaceful home n good relationship with my parrot sassy she is my best friend. But it’s always watching my back neck arms n my body she most times bites n back in cage she goes she knows exactly what she just did n went for the cage . Yes very smart but I’m not doing anything I know of to get her pissed off she wakes up on the wrong side of the cage n it gets so bad now that I can’t let her out . But a few minutes n it’s not fair to her or me . She gets seed m fruit pellets zypreem. I’m sad n confused n tried so many different things to reassure her I m not going anywhere but I’m the next room where she can see me she screams so loud my dogs cry from her screaming. It been really hard for me over the yrs but she has gotten worse lately like a month or two she laid 6 eggs last year I don’t want get to lay anymore I’m strictly her head n feet no nothing but she still attacks me
So my problem is my wife's bird hates me. He came with her when we got married. Loves her! But is basically a vampire with me. Always trying to get a piece of me. Any advice for that?
My amazon does not know what stepping up is. We got him a few months ago when my brother saw him in a tiny cage at a friends house so he bought him and gave him a big cage. At first je was terrified by hands. Now he lets me scratch him BUT he still hates Hands! He will Start nibble and i think he wants to be playful but then he bites very Hard and makrd aggressive noises and i dont know why 😭😭 please can somebody give me an advice
I have heard very good reviews about Weedborn CBD products.
ABC is hard. Because no matter what you do it’s ABC. So how do you stop that behavior of biting. Is it gonna be like a dog and saying No Bite with a hand between his beak and where he’s biting.
Is there an easy way to blunt their claws so that they won't stab you? Our double yellow head Amazon sharpens his claws into hypodermic needles. We used to trim and blunt them using a Dremel tool, but this required wrapping him in a towel like a burrito and immobilizing him. He hated this and this got to be too traumatic and so we stopped blunting his claws and we have stopped carrying him around on our arms and shoulders.
Please, tell me how better to hold as a pet, one or one pair of blue fronted amazon? I have a boy (near 4 years old ) and recent i got an 8 months old girl for him. In the last few weeks, he's become aggressive towards me. Will it be permanent or shortly? What am I supposed to do to keep him on my side? Thanks! I am very anxious and nervous about his attitude and I would like to know if he will return to me as he was before or not. What should I do? I am a poor old man who has in this world only a parrot and a few dollars a day, the vets ask me many hundreds of dollars for a little advice. Shame on them! Please can someone help me with a free advice. Thank you !
Why don't you talk to your bird when your training? I talk to Jojo constantly. He was badly abused by his last two owners so talking let's him know my attitude. After 5 months of bad bites daily he is less fearful and angry.
My Amazon parrot is MEAN. I'm the only one he bites, along with my dad. There seems to be no reason for it. He shows his foot to get onto my finger, and then he bites. It's like he takes his aggression out on me. His bite is not exactly soft either! He also regularly screams at me, and it's the sort of deafening heightened scream that can give one mild ptsd. I honestly feel so done with him, but as it's a family parrot I don't have the power to get rid of him.
We do rescue. But we have a female military that always lunges, tries to bite me. She loves my wife. Many vet checks. I've never been harsh or shown agression towards her. Tried everything. If she thinks I'm going to come towards her it on. So I pretty much leave her alone anymore. We have a female Utoo the same way, but I can run or preen her head sometimes. Help
I,ve taught my disabled boy to kiss, get tickles and repeat my words. 3 years he,s never bitten. I use two fingers and beep on his beak ,he comes back for more.
My ideas
1 read parrot body language
2 don’t push them to hard (and expect them to for example turn them upside down instantly)
3 get diet right
4 12 hours uninterrupted sleep
Do you do international calls i might be interested in a call about my cockatiel he is very bity and i ve tried a lot of stuff and nothing has been working
This will be long...sorry...First of all I think it's the season for my bird but we only just got her less than a month ago. She throws tantrums loves being out of cage tho but when she's out she grabs a hold of things and throws them remotes phones etc. I tell her no and she steps up she says bye bye when I do this cause she knows she's going back to cage but this last time I told her no stepped her up but once we got to cage and I started to open door she flapped screamed and bit me on the shoulder very hard. It was obvious she didn't wanna go back or have a timeout. Once she got in there she screamed for a bit but I ignored. My question is how do I correct this?? Please help! I don't wanna get bit like that again.
I need help, please. My sun conure attacks me all the time. He loves my kids I love him but she attacks me all the time and will hate to return him because my kids loves him and he loves them. Like you said he gets all puffed up and makes those moves to me and only me, my daughter thought he was dancing😂.
My African grey parrot she flys all around the house and stuff but upstairs she a a corner where she is super defensive of right by my bedroom door it’s because of the outlet I don’t know why but she try’s to bite my feet when I walk by to go to my room. I’ve tried all sorts of stuff it doesn’t really work she has calmed down a bit but not much she is still some what aggressive when I walk by.
My lovebird eats his chop from birdtricks and his tops pellets, i also mix his food with a little bit of seeds to encourage him to eat. if i touch my clicker and drawer he becomes so aggressive and will charge on me to bite because he wants the millets in the drawer and want to train. i know what he wants but i trained him too much that he doesn't want to eat his pellets so i don't train him that much anymore. if i'm touch my clicker he bites me even if the clicker is on the table she would try to attack the clicker to tell me he wants to train but if i touch the clicker he bites me. so confused how to make him chill with my drawer and clicker
My cockatoo gets aggressive when we don't pay attention to him, he chases our feet. He also hates it when we clean up his droppings. My bird usually bites bc he loses his balance when we pick him up
We inherited a roughly 30 year old bird and we’ve had her for almost a year and I really wanna show her physical affection but when we first got her she’d try and bite us a lot but lately when I put my hand towards her she’ll put her head down and seems more like she wants to be touch but there has been times where she’s done that and something touches her head and she immediately snaps at it (she moves pretty fast) and I’m afraid of getting hurt. I feel bad casue I know she deserves love but I don’t know if she wants it yet and I’m to scared to try. She used to puff up a lot but now she rarely does it which I feel is progress. Does anyone have any tips?
My african grey is 4 months old and he’s a sweetheart. I’ve had him since he was one month old. Coco tends to bite when he’s over excited and playing. I don’t have him in a cage and never have and probably never will. He lives with me freely in my room so he can fly around and have his freedom. He is a good boy and i just want him to not bite because he sometimes bites too hard and I know he doesn’t mean to hurt me. What should i do? Please help.
My jenday one day started attacking the kids randomly, I’m not sure why or what happened to make him decide it’s fun to make kids scream and bleed… I can’t seem to get him to stop 😩
I love you guys and watch a lot of your videos but what seems really insane to me is that you allow your birds to fly free and it’s only going to take one time that a hawk is going to swoop down and you will never see that bird again until it happens you’ll continue doing what you’re doing. I know it’s amazing but you are taking a huge risk. You’ll be heartbroken when it happens.
