siobha9 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It doesnt stop them biting. But it does stop them biting as often. Once they realise that your hand isnt going to move even if they bite it then they will stop trying unless they REALLY want you to go away. They might also test with their beak every now and then to see if you will still leave your hand there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Heres a few ideas.. If you pull your hand away and yell, then your parrot gets a reaction out of you and will try again to get the same reaction. They think it's a game, try & show no reaction to him,try to distract him when you can see that he's going to bite,you can gently wobble your hand if he is on you this works well for me.I also have a clicker ( like some people use for dog training! ) if mine go to nip i click on the clicker & say a firm No in a strong voice, the clicker distracts them,or have a toy handy they he can play with. Some people use time out, if your parrot bites you simply return him to his cage for 5 minutes & walk away from him & say nothing.Then let him out as normal,back to the cage if he bites & again dont respond to him.
