Brittany Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 First Pepper bit me in the arm because I was putting his breakfast on his cage and when my arm was reaching he thought it was aggression lol or he didnt want my arm there. Second was at night when I was trying to bring him into the shower with Paul, because he kept whining! I went to get him to step up and he had my finger and didn't let go for a few seconds. My finger was throbbing and it still hurts. Anyways..Pepper made up for it! This morning he stepped up about 2 different times and regurgitated to me. Not only did he do that but he gave me love and rubbed his beak on my hands and also cleaned all my finger nails lol. He wanted some love back a few times, but mostly wanted to give ME love which I thought was very sweet. It's cute things like that, that make it hard to stay mad for getting bit lol. Anyways just random..im bored at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ouch!!!! They do have to keep us in line don't they. Ana Grey gets a little over ambitious when it comes to wanting head scratches and more head scratches or a piece of whatever I am eating and she wants that last bite!!!! Just like any little kid!!!

esknomoe Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 As a Grey owner, you get better and better at reading body language. Sometimes I'll misread, and OWWWW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert58 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 My greys have never bitten me. Ever. They beak, but very lightly. My conures, however, will send me to the emergency room first chance they get. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessdecutie18 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Lol, I very rarely get bitten... I actually can't remember the last time as it has been over a month. Yoshi will whine and lean away but I'm a pretty patient person and will wait until she accepts comming with me or if it's something simple that I'm doing that she doesn't like I'll stop or give her a treat to allow me Yoshi seems to have more of a temper with my husband though, and he has less patience. He gets many more bites than I do. Sorry about the bites Pepper gave you! At least he proved to you that he does love you lots really, just wants you to see when he is irritated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Ah, never mind Brittany - your skin is nothing without the odd lump out here and there! I certainly couldn't model nail varnish or the likes, the scratches and "nip" marks wouldn't look too attractive in Vogue! We all go though it (some more than others) - but it's what keeps us together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Sorry about receiving the bites. I can predict the future though, more will happen. My Karnak hat never fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
