I joined this forum and started reading and asking questions and figured out she had to have been bite pressure trained. She does a heck of a job on the wood blocks, nuts, and other toys I give her so I know she could hurt me if she wanted to! It's the only explanation as to why she doesn't hurt me...Lord knows I have PO'd her enough times!
That is just such an important step, and most folks skip it for fear of being bitten, and then get bitten badly later on in life.
Once they learn it, they learn it. Sounds like a zon with a great disposition.
When we were at the laundrymat the other day Maggie bit into one of the large blocks of wood on her playstand and cracked it LENGHWISE... Now, granted this was a pine block, but it's about seven inches long, and two inches thick... CRACK! SNAP!
This is the same bird that routinely licks my eyeballs!
Hurting people really isn't something that is normally in their nature to do. But I have absolutely no doubt at all that Maggie could put her beak clean through an arm bone. I've seen my "little" (Relative concept) red front put her beak clean through someone's trapezius muscle... Sweepea's bite pressure is only a fraction of Maggie's!
