My bird is biting everything it can get its beak into. Why?

Question

Its biting his cage bars, the pots he eats from plastics... why? How can I help it?

Answer 1

Your bird is going mental through being unnaturally caged up.

Give it some space. Build an aviary in the back yard!

I bet you'd start chewing at things if you spent your entire life trapped in a space only slightly bigger than yourself.

Answer 2

What might be the problem is that your birds beak might be growing to long. So what you should do is go to the pet store and get a cuttle bone. They are very cheap and it will keep your birds beak in good condition and cuttle bones are also very healthy for birds too. They contains lots of vitamins.

Answer 3

They need to keep their beaks in shape,a few big pieces of wood helps.

Answer 4

give him some cuttle fish they love biting on that and it is good for them and for their beaks, also millet.

Answer 5

It's probably the way it keeps his beak in condition.

Answer 6

Birds WILL chew things. This is why you should get them things MEANT to be chewed. They sell chewtoys made of bird-safe wood and plastic. Get it something to chew on purpose and it'll stop chewing things it shouldn't.
