OMG I saw my first conure temper tantrum today..

[Kjarva]

It was so adorable! I've been working with Largo to let me touch his back and wings while he is out of the cage and this went well for the first 5 minutes, but then he seemed to get confused with the clicker or I confused him. Either way he seemed to decide that he was getting treats for biting my fingers. Were it not for the fact that he was literally trying to rip my fingers to bits it would have been the cutest thing I'd ever seen, him making all these tiny little squeeks as he tried to slice my fingers to ribbons.

I didn't react to the attempted mauling other than to push my finger towards the bite so he let go. I tried to touch him a few more times but by that point he was so worked up I just got him to step up and put him away in his cage to calm down for a bit. We still ended on a high note though, he got a sunflower seed for stepping up to go home
