i’m so jealous of the great bond you have with your birds 🥺

Just remember that your birds will ALWAYS bite. These are great ways to minimize biting but birds will be birds! Always be patient with your children because it's just natural for them :)

I don't understand why her channel is so underrated while she is having such awesome content 😕😕😕😕😕😕😕 I wish she get 100k soon 🖖

I love it that you teach owners to examine their own behavior in what may cause a bite in the first place and that you emphasize consideration for the bird's feelings. We don't really own them, we invite them into our lives. ♥️🦅

Awesome informative video, young Lady! Also, as a bird owner for 30 years, you should know that reaching for their head from above signals aggression or teasing. Approaching from the same level as their eyes, or below is a way to not signal aggression or teasing. Tone of voice also plays a big role in your positive reinforcement - if it bites you, and you scold it verbally, your bird will pick up on it. Likewise, if it behaves in a way you want it to, or does a certain trick or whistles the way you want it to, praise it in a happy positive voice. At a certain point, you can reward them just with your voice, love and affection, rather than always having to give them a treat. Also, when a birds' eyes are at a higher elevation than yours, i.e., on top of a book shelf, if you make eye contact with them, they can become aggressive and try to bite because they feel like they are the dominant species - especially the larger birds. So, approach with care and watch their body language. I had one bird for 25 years, and after the first couple months of bonding, he never bit me again, until he as 23, because he was old and tired. However, because I was his best friend, he never drew blood on me even when he did bite. Other people he would on rare occasions, if they annoyed him. Oh, and one form of punishment is blowing air in their face from your mouth - mother birds, at least Cockatiels, have done this. Blowing ar in their face from your mouth and them talking to them in a stern voice for their bad behavior, and then praising them for their good behavior and possibly giving them a treat, PLUS CONSISTANCY will work wonders. If you aren't consistent, they will push the boundaries, just like children, and eventually develop bad behavior.

I always enjoyed taming adult captivity birds more than raising them from birth in your hands. More of a challenge but more rewarding. One good thing to learn in bites is to have good pain tolerance (atleast for small parrots) and to instead of pulling your hand away, push it closer to the bird while he bites or drop it a bit if he is on your hand, it will caught him off guard and release the hand and make him learn that biting is not useful in communicating with you.

my bird is obsessed with me and I treat him like a child he goes everywhere with me and he still attacks me lmao. But he is also a year old and molting so he could be very grumpy, pubescent, and hormonal, cause he didn't used to bite this much until he started molting and growing.

My bird has never bit me, she practically chose me that's why I ended up with her but she always bites the rest of my family members I can't figure out a cause!

I was literally looking for a video like this! Tysm!!!

I have 4 large Macaws, and biting is part of how they connect with us. Biting can be triggered when they are frightened, when they want to be left alone, when they want to wrestle and play, or simply when they want to preen me. It does take time to realize why your parrot bites, but it is a normal part of aviculture, so there is no reason to try and stop a normal reaction to a variety of emotional or physical triggers. The most important part of caring for any species of parrot, is to simply learn to read their body language, then most bites from 'fear-based triggers' can be reduced significantly.

My parakeet has three types of bites: the friendly nibble, the semi annoyed hard nibble, and the make you bleed beak stab :D Depends on his mood.

Me realizing that my bird doesn’t bite me because she just likes chewing on my fake nails and earrings

My bird keeps bitting me, but I want to be best friends with him, so I think this video helps! It encouraged me to keep trying to be friends!

This is a well presented and useful video! I'm so glad you talk about how forming a bond, watching body language and not forcing behaviour is so important to helping to prevent biting (or generally just having a good relationship with your bird!) As you mentioned also, blowing, putting back in cage etc falls under punishment, which never works as its proven that parrots don't respond to it! Punishment just teaches fear or negativity. One other thing you can try to moderate bite force is target training from a distance. You hold the stick further away so they have to bite gently. Also the same with providing treats after, encouraging gentle grabbing of the treat.

My budgie lived for almost 11yrs and she never but me. Knowing how to read their body language is so helpful. ❤

I absolutely love your friendly approach you have when it comes to your birds. Your videos standout compared to the other bird care and bird trick channels. I can tell your birds are very happy with you ☺️

My bird loves me so much . She is my everything 😊

YES! Ty for always sharing great knowledge and emphasizing how important it is to BOND with your bird 🥰 I definitely notice that on busy work days when I don't get to spend quality time with my birdos, they get all grumpy and bite lol.

Instructions EXTREMELY clear now my 2 love birds are my best friends tysm

I have a turquoise green cheek too. He's 10 and I'm the only owner he's had or will have. I'm still learning these lessons! Conures are so smart and engaging. A challenging but highly rewarding little companion ❤

We rescued my bird from an abusive home and he has a hand fear. I'm trying to use these tips to make him more comfortable

I remember I had a really really great bond with my first sun conure he could act like he was dead he would be so happy when I come from school but he flew away 2 years ago I miss him 😭

Ok I’m really jealous with that bond you have with your birds like girlllll my bird despises me

I am so glad that I watched this! I have a baby bird that still needed to be hand-fed when I got her, and she's younger than any bird I've gotten before. I didn't realize that she didn't really mean to bite me. The screaming thing will work, I think. We're working on the bond and strengthening it. Thank you!!

This channel seems to give excellent advice with my over 30 years of experience with exotic birds this is definitely one of the better channels I like how she's not trying to sell you expensive training classes like some of the other ones do her advice is very sound it's the same advice I use after 30 years keep up the good work and the good content for all new and experienced bird owners another good channel is also wingsnpaws

Your videos pin-point everything on the topic. Very well done.

Great reminders! Thank you 😊

Omg this video is so helpful just in time! we have 6 week old love birds that have been biting so THANK YOU!

I'm getting a bird in a few days this is sooo helpful. Can you do a vid on blood feathers?

Yesss learning my birds body language improved our relationship so much! I will usually put my hand close to her to see if she wants to be pet or not (she will start grooming herself as a yes). She doesn’t always want to be touched and I absolutely need to respect that 😌

I am loving your videos. I recently became the lucky owner of two beautiful Lorikeets. I have had Budgies and Cockatiels before, but never Lorikeets which were hand raised by the breeder. Your videos are so informative and and are proving very helpful for a newby like me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I bought my birds today and it's super cute and I even touched it ☺️

I work at a pet store and we just recently got a green cheek in. I’m the primary petcare person and I always make a point to take him out multiple times a day and just let him stretch out and get used to people. My coworker also helps with this so we hope that we keep him as happy as possible in the store.

Loved the paper covered bowl idea! Never thought of that one. Thanks

The way you edit the video is so good! I enjoyed it Thank you so much for sharing 💓

Thank you, I got a new bird last year that hasn't warmed up to me. I use to have no problems getting close to birds. I am more than happy to try these tips with her!

man, you are soo underrated!

Thankyou for this video I have learned so much and can see where I've gone wrong

I was just starring at pinny and pumpkin. They are so cute!

I remember using winter gloves when my bird was on my finger. Sometimes, she'll bite my fingers while stepping on them to keep herself from losing balance. Other times, she'll just do it for enjoyment. She knows I won't feel anything if she bites me when wearing gloves. I did mess with her as a kid by using one of the gloves for her to bite it when I covered her head with it. Kinda gave her a bad habit of biting back then. I stopped doing it when she got older though and tried to work on the stepping on my fingers without biting the gloves. I was kinda afraid that if I stopped wearing the gloves, she would bite me. So, I kept them on most of the time. Sometimes, I would have her climb on my shoulder. She wouldn't bite me there, but I still was afraid she would bite me while she was alive. We kinda had this sibling relationship with each other back then.

Your birds are so beautiful. I just got a pineapple green check conure a few weeks ago. I am definitely working on a bond. Every time I feel like we have one He/she bites me. I know it can take a long time for that bond to form. I honestly just wanted to tell you how beautiful your birds are :]

Some great tips, thank you!

Great tips; also I’ve been able to use cue words that I know my bird understands for times when she might be thinking of nibbling which could turn into a bite, this puts her in her best mood and I use my voice to convey a calm gentle mood. It works as birds mirror our moods and behaviours which is why getting cross or angry at them doesn’t work.

Thank for tip 6! Although I've only had my bird for a week, she is constantly cuddling and wants to be with me. So most no biting tips don't work on her. I'm going to have to try speaking her language in a sense 😅

The only times my pigeon bites my hand is when I'm hand feeding him. My hand is staying still, but he does it cuz he's checking if he can eat my finger or thinks it has food on it (it tickles and it's only a slight pinch) so it's not really a bite

Just started working with a Conure and these vids have been great!

Thank you for mAKING THIS VIDEO. i AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE.

got my birds over 1 month ago, and they're still babies who are also still trying to get used to their new lives (they're only a few months old) so this definitely helped me, since they do come to me most times, then end up trying to give me a nose piercing 🤣

It’s amazing how well they respond to you. I have a male cinnamon and female yellow side conure. Got them at about 4 months old. Had them now for 5 months. Now they bite me. Never used to. Now they do

Lots of good hints

My bird always bit me when i come closer with my face, i mean to nuzzle with him, but he gets afraid of that, that's why i stopped doing it, until he learns it's just another form of affection I'm showing, and yeah at first i thought so much about how my bird doesn't like me but then looking at my actions, it helped me understand my bird even more, he stopped biting but indeed as your video shows, he bites still when he wants personal space, he gets curious about what i eat most, or drink, or sometimes when i clean, he gets down just to see anything i use, i know i have little experience with birds, but i learned those when dealing with my bird, and this video confirmed everything i did, at first i was expecting too much from my bird, but i realized that i have to be patient and wait for him to love me and bond with me.

Very helpful, Very good advice and a great speaking voice. Excellent

Thanks for this video, it was extremely helpful

I sure love ur advice ! Working on my green cheek !

THANK YOU!!! so helpful i will DEFINITLY SUB

The explanation of why they bite was one of the best explanations I've heard:)

My green cheeked conure will land on my shoulder, bite my ear and fly away for n o reason at a l l

Your amazing channel is really helping me handle my new bird. Thank you! xx

I am one of your subbies and I Really enjoy your Videos!

I have a one-year-old sun conure who's my baby; however, he's SO needy all of the time. Like, if I'm home and go to leave the room to get something, he starts screaming his head off and won't stop until I come back into the room. I call out to him to let him know that I'm not far, but it doesn't work. My husband gets so mad at him screaming. Do you have a video or will you make one with tips on how to help my birdie stop screaming so much when I leave the room? P.S. I did my research before I got him, so I know that sun conures tend to scream. I'm just trying to figure out a way to minimize it. Thanks! Love your videos and your birds! They're so pretty! ♥️

Bestieee can you do what to do with your first day with a parrot x

This is a great video! Thank you so much!!

Great tips. You know a lot. I have 2 GCC too. Thanks for all your knowledge

Thank you so much for this video! I don’t have a bird yet, but I’m researching as much as I can to give my future bird a happy, healthy life! This video helped me the most when considering positive reinforcement and understanding biting. I love how you have cloth over food bowls for foraging too! I didn’t think of that before!

my sun conure used to love me.. i had her since baby,, but suddenly, now, whenever i want to take her out of cage, she bites me 😫

Good advice thanks

Thank you for this video!! I really neeeded this video for my pet dog!!

Anyone have a parrots thats obsessed with giving you ear peirced. I think I might start my own buisness up lol

My Quaker only bites me when someone they don't know is near them when playing with me.

I have a peach faced love bird and she can really bite hard when she wants to, but on some occasions I haven fallen asleep on the couch she will stand on my face and sooo gently and carefully try to raise my eyelids with her beak to wake me up 🥰🥰 so cute!

This is amazing you definitely have youre birds trust

yes i need this vid i dont want my bird to bite!

my sun conures are both rescues. my younger boy went through three homes to get to me , finally his forever home. he is only 6months old. they're both angels! they do nip. all birds do. neither of them draws blood of hurts me often. I love them both dearly

I love all of your videos so much

Thank you so much!

I'm definitely going to try the YIP and place method. The issue is, what if you have a bird that has no consistent triggers for bites, and gives no warning? One of my three rescues, after nearly two years, continues to be decently aggressive and just isn't safe around most people. She's even a bit rough with me even to this day...I know she isn't bad, but she's dive bombed my husbands face and will just randomly bite him. She'll be comfy on him, we feel safe and then, wham. The other two are mostly OK and these tips make sense for them; most of which I know. But what about the truly unpredictable, vicious biters? If you have advice on that, that'd be a life saver.

Great tips! Can you recommend how to “scold” your bird if they are getting into something bad without getting bit. Most of the time the relationship with my African Grey is great, but sometimes he fixates on something that might be dangerous like an electrical cord. He will nip if I try to take it away & will refuse to step up so I can remove him from the object.

AWWW THE INTRO WAS SO CUTE AND WONDERFULL

Thanks for sharing, good information to know!

Really good video! I don’t really know why my birds bite me. I give them treats and while they’re eating from my hand suddenly they bite me, maybe they are curious of my hand or they don’t know that My hand is there

English is not my first language so I was very confused at the beginning where I thought Parrots was "parents"

Thankyou so much this really helped

You really are an inspiration to others including me and you inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel.

My blue and gold bites me every time I try and pet her (I bought her off a bird flipper) I’m not sure if she was abused or what but she flinches every time I react towards her I do it slowly to show her I’m not going to hurt her but it’s a once a month thing I’m getting bit I just blow in her face because I know she don’t got a bond with me yet but i think it’s gotten better since I’ve brought her home she’s begun growing all her feathers back and comes in my bedroom when I’m in there just to say hello

My budgie always flies to my hand, and it took a long time for him to have confidence to do that. But the flies to my hand and bites very hard, hurts a lot. When he doesn’t bite, he mates with my hand. Is there any behavior act or detail that I’m missing? I love my little Bob, but sometimes he really hurts me!

so glad I watched your video, sent to me from a new birdy friend and am I glad he did...Kevin is a sweet bird BUT the biting is not good. I picked up several things I can now do to help with that, thank you so much for the information.

This was very helpful! Thank you

I searched this because MY BIRD FREAKING BITE MY HALF WAY THROUGH BLOOD !!! In my finger I gottta admit IT HURTS!!!😭😭😭😭

It seems like my bird just wants to eat my fingers. I don’t have parrots but pretty much every time they see my fingers they just bite them, my hair, my lips etc. I have a good bond with them but it’s like they just want to eat me. They bite everything though. Like I will be on my phone and all of a sudden they’re trying to swallow my fingers.

I have had my parakeet angel for about 6 months. Recently, she has really come out of her shell haha. She is a lot more fun and She has become a lot more gentle with her beak. She's not cuddly yet but I'm hoping with time she will be so. She was a pet store bought parakeet so it's amazing she's tamed up as well as she has. She is pretty funny and has a mind of her own.

hi there, just watched your video on biting, you obviously know what you are doing, thank you, you explanied things very well, and made good sence, i will be watching more of your clips xxx

I hand feed my budgies carrots and my male budgie (the youngest one) alternates between bitting the carrot and then my hand so idk if he doesn’t like my hands or if he’s just playing because when he bites I try to put him back but it’s really hard to get him off of my hands 😳

my bird shoves his head down for me to kiss him after a little while he just changes into a monster and bites

Love this girl. Birds are not normal pets that you can control. These are decade long birds that pretty much tell you what they are comfortable with.

Thank you so much it helped a lot

My bird likes to chew on one of my hoodie then goes into frenzy excited mode and I'm often the collateral damage... I ended up stop wearing that hoodie, cuz there are times I can't even get his attention with his favorite treat when he's like that... Kinda scary for a tiny conure... 😳

My birds bite me when I’m feeding them millet, but they approach my hand slowly, so I think they’re just curious. Now I’m really scared of feeding them because they hurt me 😞

This is very helpful Thank you for sharing.

This video was really helpful thank you!!!

My lovebird is almost four months and he bites everything. I feel that he is a baby that is teething/beaking. Is that what it is? Will he grow out of it?
