How To STOP Quaker Parrot Biting FOR GOOD!!!! Parrots Biting You Is Not Normal.

Any of you have a Quaker Parrot or other aggressive Parrots that seem to never stop biting? Here are my methods on how I stopped my Quaker Parrot Popples from biting entirely. We no longer have an issue with him biting and he is no longer aggressive or territorial over his cage, food, or toys.
Although these tactics may seem a little strange at first, be open minded and give it a shot :) Also, if you have any methods that have worked with you and your parrot, please let us all know. What works for my birds may not work for yours so the more info and strategies we can get, the better.
Every parrot is different and has their own unique personality so finding the right strategy that will work with your parrot is key.
If you take away anything from this video, please know that parrot aggressively or fearfully biting you is not normal and should not be tolerated unless you are willing to deal with it and fine with it.
Thank you BirbSquad I hope you all have a wonderful week :)

I rescued a 15 month old male Eclectus yesterday. I brought him home, left his cage door opened in case, he wanted to venture out. I asked him to step up & he did. Then he started eating a carrot from my hand. I picked up the smaller pieces for him to take b/c I wanted to see how he would react & he took that little piece of carrot just as gently as can be. He's a very sweet, gentle & loving boy. He spent the evening on my shoulder & snuggled my neck all night till he fell asleep. I put him to bed & he immediately went to sleep. This am we ate breakfast together. I figured out that he is potty trained & he alerts me when he needs to go. He's such a great parrot. Now that I'm retired I have time for birds again. I've missed birds b/c of my prior occupation. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Holding my quakers beak and mimicking a ‘bird bite’ when she is trying to bite instantly worked. I didn’t back down and lightly held her beak from the side and she gave up almost immediately. It can be hard not to pull away because they can nip you pretty badly when they want to. My hands are currently covered in bites but I’m feeling a lot more positive and reassured now. This really helped ✨💗

HELP! I have a 9 year old Cockatiel male. He has been in the family for around 7 years. Was not hand raised. We found him sat on a stand in a garden centre. He now lives with just me and has done for 4 years. I have always talked to him and he lives in the same room as me. However, he was never really tamed. From the day we got him, he was aggressive and goes mad with biting. I now have all the time in the world and am desperate to make his life as happy as I can. He has a mixed diet and is let out of his cage every day now. He will come out immediately but on his own and sit on top of the cage. I can feed him treats from my fingers most the time but even then he will occasionally go passed the treat to attack my fingers. He acts extremely aggressive when hands or even a hand held perch gets too close (hissing, lunging and frantic biting). It is all very confusing and a bit emotionally draining. I have been doing the usual taming techniques of sitting by his cage, talking to him, rewarding him for being calm ect. But he still has a very aggressive attitude. The minimum I want is to be able to have him step to my hands (or a perch) to move him from cage to stands if needed. Tried bribing him with treats but he still will not go near to stepping up onto anything. Been trying to calm and tame him for a month now with little to no success. I feel soooo guilty for the lack of free cage time over the years and want to fix it. He clearly has some form of a bond to me due because he will get as close as he can and calls out every time I leave the room. I can even hide my hands behind my back and he will hop on top of the cage door to 'kiss' my lips very gentle. But as soon as the hands return, boom...kill kill. Like I say, confusing and draining :) Been watching your vids and others to get some tips but just feel like I am making no progress. I still adore the little fella so he is with me for life, I would just rather not have another decade of bites :) What should I do? Do some birds just never get over the aggressive stage and are happy to simply do their own thing out the cage and be talked to? (Long post, sorry)

So I started making Ollie our Green cheek let me or my son take him out of his cage. He now will wait on his perch, even when I open the cage and grab his food and such. He will wait until I put my arm or finger out to come out. This took a little bit for him to adjust but now he is getting the hang of it and I have noticed he is much better behaved. As far as biting goes, he only tries to bite when I try to get him to go back to his cage. Takes one kinda calm but stern “no biting” and he jumps right up with out a problem. Always love your videos, I learn so much from them. 😁

Hi. Just came across your channel when searching on how to stop parrots biting. I live in Australia and have recently befriended a couple of lorikeets who sometimes bite (understandable as they are wild animals). Anyway, the reason for commenting was to say how well you present your content and how engaging you are. Although not a bird owner I watched some of your videos with much interest. Many thanks and all the best from Sydney, Australia.

Apple will occasionally do little nips at my fingers and say "naughty bird." It took me a while to figure out that he only does this when I'm messing with something else (like my phone or computer). He is telling me that I'M the naughty bird because he's bored and I'm not paying attention to him. To stop this, I either put down what I'm doing, or I put him back in his room until I'm available to play.

Hi Victoria. About 2 months ago a girl down the street had a Monk/Quaker land on her shoulder in her back yard. She posted it on the neighborhood site. I sent her an Email & said I would take it if not claimed. Here in Austin Tx we have a big colony along the river that flows thru town. So I got it. It would talk & say breaker, breaker, breaker. All it knew. So I assume that maybe it belonged to a trucker & got out. He's turning into a hoot. He has learned all kinds of words & phrases in a very short time. He likes sitting on my shoulders. But is starting to get more friendly towards my hands & fingers. I showed him one of your videos earlier & he went crazy. Trying to cuddle up. I've had lotza birds over the years & I think he will be the best of all. Only problem so far is him plucking ay my hair & whiskers. He tries to eat & drink everything that I have out. I think he will chill more as he gets older. As I think he's a very young bird. He just molted which I think may have been his first. Who knows. BTW, I''m 70yo.

this explains a lot. I guess I was letting my female quacker act like the boss. she is not "hand raised" and was very timid at first. I assumed she's biting out of fear, and never punished her. now she bites randomly, and it's usually when she's on my head, above me. meanwhile, my nephew's quacker stopped biting, and all he had to do is not back down, and keep his hand in the cage. still, I don't feel comfortable to touch their cage, it feels like "their space", and their instincs tell them to defend it, they're not doing anything wrong. if I need to clean the cage or add something into it, I just move them to a different room for a bit.

Hi! Thanks for the help👍I have a blue quaker named Ava and she is a sweety but she does nip quite a bit. She is 4 months old for context. She sits on my shoulder or my arm/hand and she'll be "preening me" when she finds a scar or scab or pimple, something like that, and she grabs a hold and tries to pull it off. She will also bite my fingers sometimes but thats because she gets mad at me for not letting her bite my face, arm, or neck. What kind of bite would you consider that? What method should I use in that situation?

Having this exact problem with our Quaker right now. He loves my husband but flies around trying to attack me. If I'm anywhere near he comes after me, beak wide open. It's getting where I'm attacked in every room. He will fly to find me. In the beginning I could be near him and he was fine but now not at all. He loves my husband and cuddles with him and everything. He was a rescue and latched on to my husband immediately. I would never think of rehoming him because my husband absolutely adores him so I just live with a crazy, manic bird chasing me with his beak wide open like a mouse to an eagle. Any suggestions from viewers would be appreciated. I just want to be able to coexist with Comet because I love him too!

@VictoriaRyann 5 жыл бұрын

Hey girl! Yeah definitely sounds like he's jealous and territorial over your man. What I recommend, is your husband brings Comet into a calmer room like the bedroom or something. You and Comet be in the room together and your husband leaves the room. Wear a jacket or something where the sleeves are thick enough and the bites won't hurt. You two spend as much time needed together until he calms down. You can even have your husband play and exercise with Comet right before all of this to get some of that energy out. While in the room, when Comet starts to bite, don't say anything and remain calm. Don't back down stand your ground. He will eventually get tired. Once he's calm, give him treats and praise him. Now, you may not be bffs after only one session of this. The goal for now is short around 10- 15 minute sessions of this everyday. You should start to see progress by the 3rd session. When you are finally able to pet him without issues, start slowly incorporating your husband. Maybe the first time, he only walks by and leaves. Then progressing with him eventually in the room with both of you. This may take some time depending on the severity of his jealousy and how well he takes this change. But the ultimate goal is teaching him that you are also an authority figure and he will not walk all over you, you two create a bond without your husband, and lastly all three of you are coexisting together as a flock. I hope this helps and hope others give their input as well! Good luck girly you can do it!

He steps up and hasnt bit me yet. Ill hold him for a moment then put him back on his balcony, he usually will just sit there after like hes froze. Im not sure why he does this or what it means. He also screams when i leave the room for too long. Im unsure what to do but i want to do whats best for him.

I had just gotten a baby Quaker that is certainly 3 1/2 weeks old, it’s name is Nova and the gender is unknown at this time. I didn’t blindly get a Quaker not knowing what I’m getting myself into but I’ve seen pros and cons on all species after doing my research and honestly think that it depends on the person. I’m hoping I can prevent these behaviors before they happen or at least be prepared for when they do and know how to handle the situations and correct them. Your videos are very helpful!

Hi Victoria, Was Yoshi always so personable with you or did it take time for his personality to develop? I'm a new mom to a baby Conure and I'm struggling. My Kiwi does allow me to handle him but he is nippy and does not want to be on my shoulder. He doesn't seem to have to much personality or is he just shying away from me, I'm not really sure. I'm hoping with time he will be more interactive with me.

I was so excited yesterday when I watched this video and saw you mentioned my comment! I really respect the work you do with your two little guys, so it meant so much to me that you thought I was on the right track with my training ideas. I also have seen a lot of people recommend that you ignore bites and the bird will see it to be ineffective and stop doing it. When I tried this out, the result was lots of pea-sized bruises all over my hands and arms and my green cheek Pablo showing no inclination to get bored with the biting. It seemed counterintuitive that an animal whose survival in the wild depends entirely on being a member of a flock would go around being a total jerk to his human 'flockmate'. I realized that by my ignoring his biting, Pablo could have no idea that his behaviour was not ok. Physical punishment is always out of the question so I thought this was the best method to let him know I was not ok with being his human pincushion.

@VictoriaRyann 5 жыл бұрын

No way I owe you a huge thank you! I was so happy to see another person giving their input in such a helpful and respectful way. Plus the way you work with Pablo and the way you explained the process makes total sense. I feel like too many people let their birds bully them and run the house. Then we are looked upon as not nice bird owners cause we stand up to them. But Judith you totally get it and so in tune with what your bird needs and the right approaches that works with your bird in stopping unwanted behavior. So thank you thank you for helping everyone!!!! Also thank you for the compliments I really appreciate it :) hope you and your little ornery Pablo have a great rest of the week!

When we first got our quaker turd he was extremely aggressive. He was teased all the time and hated hands and bare shoulders. He would fly to my shoulder when his flight feathers grew back. He would bite when he wanted to have some of my food so i would make him go back to his cage giving him nothing. He learned pretty quick that aggression gets him nowhere and he stopped biting me. He now puts his beak on me or gives me kisses which i reward. Ive since started doing the same thing when he gets impatient waiting for me to be done preparing my food. If he screaches in my ear or motorboats he doesn't get to sit on my shoulder and he gets no breakfast with me. He now will go back to his cage on his own when he is getting impatient so he can scream it out or will make kissing sounds on my shoulder. His cage aggression has gotten less over the years and i can adjust his toys but he still does act territorial. Ive started just simply touching his beak and making a kiss noise to try to get him to associate my hand in his cage as a non threatening thing. So far it hasn't worked to the point i want it to but at least he doesn't try to draw blood and will give a double chirp afterwards. He's an ass at times but i know he loves me.

I came into a Quaker parrot a week ago when he flew into our pool party clearly looking for water. She was extremely friendly with EVERYone. She went from that to low sounds and constant biting two days ago and the only thing that’s changed is that we got her a branch warmer because we could tell our AC was making her cold at night and she would sleep on the bottom of her cage. After this warmer she sleeps on her perch but she is NOT friendly anymore. I’ve tried everything but she’s completely changed. Help! I’ve tried your tips she’s just pissed

Can someone help me? My quacker parrot is going through puberty however, he'll only attack me and my dad(mainly me, occasionally my dad). Especially when I go near our female quacker who's completely friendly. The male quacker is friendly with my sisters however the irony is, before he hit puberty, he was obsessed with me and my dad. He wasn't as attached to my sisters. Like he'd fly all across the house to come to me. Now he's displaying all this aggression and territory behavior, primarily towards me, a little but towards my dad. I don't if mby he's holding a grudge for going near the female quacker and giving her attention and food? But if that's the case, why is he fine with my sisters?

My conure is almost a year old and with in the last week he seems to have become agressive. I am really the only one that interacts with him but I do have a roommate. He has started just instantly biting me when I take him out if his cage, he hasn't broken skin but definitely left marks. His feathers get really fluffed up when he does this though. The first two days were the worst, he has calmed down a little bit but is still trying to bite alot. I have been trying the time out thing, were I put him on the cage or in the cage and ignore him for a few minutes, this was working with his little nips but isnt working with this more aggressive behavior. Any suggestions?

@VictoriaRyann 5 жыл бұрын

Hey girl. Is it possible for you to put the cage in a separate room and have a play area away from the cage? Does he ever act scared you think? Also, when you take him out of the cage and you notice he's getting into position to bite, try offering different perches or a covered arm. If you do offer your hand and he goes to bite, let him know what he did was wrong. You can say "no" very stern yet calm. If it's not out of fear, sounds like he needs some discipline. The whole ignoring thing takes care of the minor issues but yours sounds like he needs to be taught that he crossed the line. After you tell him no, keep working on getting him out don't back down. If he's really worked up, you can sit beside the cage while both of you take a break for 5 minutes or so. Then try again. Don't leave the room and don't give him treats yet. Once he wears himself out or if he's starting to back down you can praise him and offer treats. Reward his calm behavior while standing up to his bully like behavior. He needs to know you're not giving up, you're not backing down, and be a nice bird to get the treats. The same approach applies with your roommate. Tell your roommate not to be submissive and go into this with the mindset of behaviors you want from this bird. If there is hesitation and you are waiting for the bird to have the first reaction, he's going to bite and take control of the situation. I hope this makes sense and my apologies for the book I just wrote you lol you can do this and get it under control!!! ☺️

@abarc901 5 жыл бұрын

@@VictoriaRyann Victoria Ryann Thanks thanks for the book! 😊 it's good to know what might help. Based on the description in your video, I don't get the sense that he is biting out of fear.

He also has no issues with me touching any of his stuff in the cage though, even if he is still in the cage. But I will try these tips for disciplining him! He is usually such a sweet and cuddly bird and I really want to get him back to that!

Cause we don't want to do anything that can jeopardize your bond. I would definitely work on it now before the potential of it escalating into something worse. As well as teaching him at an early age that this behavior isnt acceptable. Have you tried redirecting his behavior? You can do that with a mixture of saying "no" calmly and maybe even a slight 'bite' imitation on the side of his beak if it gets more frequent. Hope this gives you some direction :)

Hey, i've had my quaker parrot for a few months now, and I was never given an exact age of him since I bought him from a breeder who wasn't sure, but I could only guess at the time he was about.. 2-3 months? Anyway, when I brought him home he got comfortable in less than week, etcetc. He never started biting and I don't remember when but he started biting. It wasn't hard, more annoying biting and nips. How do I stop it? I've tried telling him to stop firmly for a few days but it doesn't seem to work. He especially does it when he stays on my shoulder, and he'll usually nip on my neck which hurts insanely bad. I need advice asap since it's really annoying to the point I can't pick him up anymore without him biting. I don't think its like,, a trust problem? Maybe? I don't know, I haven't done anything to lose his trust, and he'll usually willingly go on my finger, sometimes literally run into my room in excitement, etc. When he bites my finger, he'll usually bite one place and like stay there until i literally have to pry him off my finger. Though when he bites my neck, it's just quick nips. So help?
