I Sun Conure who hatched March 23. 2004. I adopted her on May 8, 2005
I had a Quaker Parrot named Nikki who lived for 19 years
I grew up with Budgerigars named Screech, Zoar and Blue Baby
Let me clarify. I don't know how long the biting of my hand after stepping has been going on. It seems kind of new to me.
In generally shd has bitten me for a number of reasons since I have had her. Thankfully it's not daily. Sometimes she will "bite" to stabilize herself.
I am really new to target training. I have a market stick. I am not really sure what I am doing. Is the stick supposed to distract her from going for my hand.
I don't punish her. I just take it like a champ. When she bit me as a youngster, I would get much worse bites (I forgot why she would bite, mostly hormonal). She could have worked for a blood bank.
