Guest Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Was he friendly with you in the past? I'm asking since you write "I really want to be good friends with him again". Is he friendly with someone else on the house (or was friendly)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneSATX Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yeah, I always used to bring him out and play with him. No problem at all. He used to be really friendly with everyone in our house, but now he just bites. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 mmm... I'm asking questions here, hope it's ok. If you prefer we can PM on this. Anyway, - could he felt abused in some way? - how long since he stopped getting attention? - how long is he acting agresive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneSATX Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well he's never been abused before It has been a while, though, since he's gotten attention I took him out of his cage this morning. He didn't bite my hand, just did a bit of "beaking" I guess, before he got on. He stayed on my arm for a while, until flying to his cage. He's been on top of his cage since. I've tried to get him onto my hand again, but it doesn't seem like he wants to. He did try biting me once, but he missed. Any advice? Thanks alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneSATX Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 An update on this would be.. Okay, so he was sitting on top of his cage, and I walked over and offered him my hand to walk on.. He began beaking, and I thought it was normal.. Then he bit onto my arm and jumped off of the cage, still holding onto my arm. Then he climbed onto my arm and bit some more. He then crawled up and onto my shoulder and bit my ear. So I have 5 good bites on my arm and one on my ear. I didn't know how to respond, so I didn't. I offered him a peanut and he took it. Then i set a few peanuts on a table we have, and set him on the table. To be honest, i'm now scared to touch him. Those hurt haha What do I doooo?

Guest Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Did he get back to the cage? Try working with him, getting his confidence while he's inside the cage. Feed him, pet him and talk to him. It will take time but he'll respond to you ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneSATX Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 yeah, he did make it back into the cage. I just had to put a slice of apple in there. I am trying to work with him, and from what I hear from my parents is that all this morning he's been saying my name. I guess that could be a good sign. I'll take him out again later to see if I can get some better luck this time. Any more tips? I really don't want my ear attacked again. Ouch!
