thomaszambra Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hv ave been talking to a friend about my baby grey RIO and was telling him that when he is on my hand that he tries to bite ( well nibble ) my fingers and he said to sharply drop my hand and say NO firmly as this could lead to something futher down the line. I have tried this a couple of times today and seems to have the desired affect as he has not tried to bite my hand or fingers, Any comments warmly welcomed:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes that is one way it throws them off balance & for a split second they forget about the biting, but reinforce it with a firm NO, another method is to gently tip your hand from side to side again this affects the balance for that split moment . Teaching this now will hopefully have the desired affect & will stop the biting later on But they all at some point try their luck & go through biting phases.
