Hi,
Parrot owners on this forum are so helpful so thought I would post my recent observations of Bruno my GCC on here. Bruno is very bitsy, hes only around three months I can tell its not aggression, hes playing but it hurts. Ive read around here that grabbing the beak off my finger when he bites is not a Good idea, that its better to put them on the ground and have a time out. Now my problem is Bruno has a weird ( and good imo) habit of flying off my shoulders and pooing on the floor. So now when I out him down after biting and say NO he poos :15: Should I not tell him off in the way as perhaps this could be inherent potty training or something lol. What should I do instead?
2-With regards to harness training, im trying to take it slow with him. For the past week or so he would put his head through take the treat then quickly get head out. No progress from that, he just doesnt like it around his head. What are your opinions on forcing it on him, making him get used to it/ or what should the next step be?
This turned out to be a long post, im always appreciative of the advice fellow Bird parents give
