enthusiastic beak cleaning

[Gingerchezy]

Hi everyone

I'm probably just being soft... I was just wondering if everyone else's green cheek conure feels the need to constantly clean her beak on your fingers! Chewie is still only 3 months old, so I suppose she could still be beaking - I'm not sure how long it takes for them to get over that! Its just that she is rather enthusiastic about her nibbling and keeps pinching and chewing at my fingers all the time and it hurts, I think she's trying to clean her beak some of the time, I just want to teach her to do it gently.

I think i'm coming down with a cold tonight so i'm feeling sorry for myself already without getting my fingers nibbled too lol

do you have a perch you can transfer him to? every time he starts to nibble place him on the perch as a time out he will soon realize biting means time out.
