JillyBeanz Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 On the whole Harvey is a really good boy - but just before he would not stay downstairs and kept flying upstairs (nobody up there to supervise) so I kept bringing him back down, placing him back on his playstand. He did this 5+ times, with me going upstairs to retrieve him (it's a quarter landing type of stairs and he can turn to go up them, but has never worked out how to get down alone). I decided that I'd had enough and was about to return him to his cage when he flew off. This isn't uncommon - I've chased him round the house before - by boy was he going for me - he has broken skin - but I'm not bleeding and it took me a good few minutes to get him in his cage - enduring numerous "bites" which I just had to bravely take. He's now sulking in his cage and knows he's been naughty - he is NEVER in his cage when we are home - so he knows I'm not tolerating it! 10 days before he is one year old! What happened to the terrible twos!!!
Joolesgreyuk Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Ha it really hurts when they bite and not just physically. Beau also gets put in his cage when he bites - usually when he has been taken away from destroying something. It's reasuring to know it's not just me. :laugh: Have you considered joining the parrot bite me club? :whistle:
she Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Never mind Jill. If its any help it happens to us all at some point.
JillyBeanz Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 He's back out now - very sheepish and loving - wanting kisses and everything!!! He's sitting on the top of the door preening himself and chirping away. He's a little so and so! Sitting there like nothing's happened!! :unsure:
Luvparrots Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 He is properly plotting his next move, watch out Jill!:woohoo: :laugh:
JillyBeanz Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Ha Ha! You're probably right Janet - he's sitting there plotting world domination! :ohmy:
she Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Like kids when they are quiet it means trouble, watch out:lol:
judygram Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 You better watch out Jill, Harvey is planning his next move and you won't see it coming, he is a sly little fella but don't feel so bad as it happens all the time.

Welcome to the bite me club. More will follow......:evil:
Brittany Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 lol, aww. Pepper has gotten time out quite a few times. She HATES it, because she spends no time in her cage.
Jingles Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 lol! I'm not laughing for you finger, it's just cute, I could see you chasing him around the house! HAHA!
Luvparrots Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Hope Harvey has learned is lesson and is now being a good boy, Jill!
JillyBeanz Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 What do you think!! He's fine at the minute thanks Janet - but who knows what his next mood swing will bring! :unsure:

Greywings Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 There is a disturbance in the force-Pookie went to bed early proclaiming "Bed time for Birdies." Harry U2 bit my son through a fingernail after he flipped upside down playing on his hand - he went to "jail" for a while. Maybe the cold front that blew in yesterday set them all off over here.
JillyBeanz Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Ha Ha! Well, between impersonating that Pterodactyl and the UK sending you that cold snap I've incorporated to ages into Harvey's world - the Ice Age and the Prehistoric Age - something for everyone!! :laugh:
