Question

My parrot bites me, should I bite it back?

Answer 1

Just punch it the face.

Answer 2

ROFLMAO----You must be crazy.  Seriously though, you have to consider a lot of things here, it may be the way that you are approaching or handling the bird.  Don't reach in to the bird above the head as this is threatning to the bird.  If it is in the cage, open the door, and allow it to explore and come out of the cage to you.  Speak gently to the bird, and offer it a treat. If you continue to do this, the bird will eventually come around.  You have to also understand that they do not have hands to use so they will use their mouth for a variety of things.  There is a spray that you can buy that stops them from chewing on things that you do not want them to.  I would recommend that you get the spray and put it on your hand.  Once it gets the taste of the spray, it will be more and more reluctant to bite.  Good Luck, and really I got a great laugh out of this and the comments.

Answer 3

No offense, but are you nuts? NO, don't bite your parrot, please! Talk to vet and see if he/she can give you some ideas on how to train your parrot not to bite!

Answer 6

Why would you bite your bird? You would most likely hurt the thing. This reminds me of my visit to the avian vet for my bird. She told me about two patients that brought their birds in for gun shot wounds because the birds flew up in a tree and the owners could not get them down. So they decided to shoot them down! Dumb right? Your bird is obviously telling you something. Maybe he wants to be left alone at that time.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ahh no....I have two birds and my Sun Conure has a bit of a temper. Sometimes he'll bite me and I'll simply say no in a angry voice and shake my hand. Shake your hand or arm to a point that the bird will lose his/her balance, but not too hard to a point that the bird may fall off your hand or arm. Or, you can say no and place your bird in time out, and then come back to his/her cage and let him/her out.  Your bird will learn, but he/she can probably sense that they are getting the best of you and is taking advantage. Take it easy and relax. After a while the bird will learn and try giving him/her a treat for when he/she behaves. Do you also pay enough attention to your bird. He/she may be looking for attention, or the bird may be angry because its not getting enough attention. Try spending some time with your bird. Take an hour in your day and make that time a hangout time with your feathered friend. See what happens, if he/she stops biting you then that may have been the problem. Sometimes birds can be a bad child and they just need some discipline. Good Luck!

Answer 10

With parrots aggression begets agression. You need to understand why he bites? Is it the way you approach your bird? Do you reach with your hand above his head? All parrots bite. That is how they test every thing.

Answer 11

normally parrots only take to liking one person,so if there are members of your family that the parrot likes and does not attack it might be quite hard to befriend it
