Getting bit isn't much fun at all. I used to be afraid, not of Heminway, but other birds biting me. I would pull away and be reluctant to try again. Now I know that if you let them have that edge on you, they use it. Heminway only bites if he feels threatened or is falling, but the bites still hurt, and I've bled a few times. The idea is to make them think their beak isn't a weapon they can use on you. Just keep trying and don't get discouraged! Good luck!!
