biting.

by Vivian
(Fort Worth, TX)

I have a nanday conure that is about 9 months old and although she seems to prefer me in our household she is always very edgy and bites me a lot. Can you tell me why she behaves like this? She also has an anoying habit of forcing her beak in the tip of my tongue and she seems to go into a transe, flapping her wings while crouching her body. How do I get this to stop?

Biting Nanday
by: Tracie

Hello Vivian,

I don't know why your bird is acting this way. I don't quite understand how your bird gets it's beak on the end of your tongue unless you want it to do that. I would not suggest it at all! First, we have bacteria in our mouth that can hurt our birds and second, that bird could put a hole in your tongue!!

Without seeing a picture of this, it is hard to say what is going on. Since it involves your mouth, maybe the bird is wanting to be fed, as if you were it's momma or it's mate. Another thing you do NOT want to encourage.

As far as the biting goes, I do have some articles on our Parrot Training page you might want to read. The 6th button down on the left of your screen is the Parrot Training link.
