Getting There

[Dave27563]

Hi All

 

Charlie and me have been having some quality time together with little or no biting

I read that because a lot of birds are moulting at the moment that may be one of the reasons why some birds are biting when they normally don't. Spraying them so they can have a good wash does them the world of good, so i read!! Having just tried it, i think she enjoyed it, buy maybe tomorrow she will enjoy it some more:ohmy:

I must admit, its nice having Charlie sitting on my hand and not being bitten to pieces.

She has started to come to me when i call, which i am really enjoying :cheer:

I feel that we have turned a corner and considering its only been 9 days I'm really pleased

Congrats Dave :-) I must confess, I might be a little grouchy with a pin feather too :-) That said, remember that birds experience the world through their beaks, and as babies, they can be especially beaky in the excitement of exploration... and that all important time honored tradition of testing you and flock rules. Take heart when Charlie does bite (as a bird, and a wild animal, odds are through the roof for an occasional clamp) it isn't becasue he/she means you pain and heartache (although if you're anything like me it's hard to avoid the smooshed feelers now and then). Shake it off as best you can and keep on keeping on. With a calm and unceremoniously bored no, ignore the unwanted behavior, and encourage the positive with all kinds of love and attention. Charlie will seek to elicit that more and more in time. I wish you both well!
