7 TIPS ON HOW TO STOP YOUR BIRD FROM BITING | Why Your Bird Bites You and How to Avoid Getting Bit

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Here are my 7 tips on how to stop your bird from biting! I also talk about why your bird would bite you in the first place and how to avoid getting bit by your bird. Parrots don't naturally bite each other in the wild to the point where they bleed and the only scenario where they would do that is if they were fighting for or defending a nest. There are numerous reasons why your bird would bite you and if your bird is constantly biting you, its usually a sign that they are trying to tell you something and biting you is their way of getting their message across. To stop your bird from biting you or to avoid getting bit by your bird, you need to strengthen or build a bond with your bird while also learn how to read your parrot's body language and behavior and recognize your bird's wants and needs so that you can work to respect their boundaries to avoid getting a bit.

    I have raised several species of parrots and have not been bit by any of them. I pay close attention to them and know what their triggers are. I have been mouthed by them when they are babies but this is gentle exploration not aggression. I wont let anyone handle them until I go over their rules and emphasize that ignoring them will result in a bite.

    Awesome informative video, young Lady! Also, as a bird owner for 30 years, you should know that reaching for their head from above signals aggression or teasing. Approaching from the same level as their eyes, or below is a way to not signal aggression or teasing. Tone of voice also plays a big role in your positive reinforcement - if it bites you, and you scold it verbally, your bird will pick up on it. Likewise, if it behaves in a way you want it to, or does a certain trick or whistles the way you want it to, praise it in a happy positive voice. At a certain point, you can reward them just with your voice, love and affection, rather than always having to give them a treat. Also, when a birds' eyes are at a higher elevation than yours, i.e., on top of a book shelf, if you make eye contact with them, they can become aggressive and try to bite because they feel like they are the dominant species - especially the larger birds. So, approach with care and watch their body language. I had one bird for 25 years, and after the first couple months of bonding, he never bit me again, until he as 23, because he was old and tired. However, because I was his best friend, he never drew blood on me even when he did bite. Other people he would on rare occasions, if they annoyed him. Oh, and one form of punishment is blowing air in their face from your mouth - mother birds, at least Cockatiels, have done this. Blowing ar in their face from your mouth and them talking to them in a stern voice for their bad behavior, and then praising them for their good behavior and possibly giving them a treat, PLUS CONSISTANCY will work wonders. If you aren't consistent, they will push the boundaries, just like children, and eventually develop bad behavior.

    I've had a 14 year old green cheek since it was a baby. He and I have bonded since day one. He says about 40 words and dances and sings a couple of bars with me. Well, about a year ago, I was bringing him in from his outdoor cage at sundown. I have no idea why he did this, but as he was on my shoulder, he suddenly attacked my back, digging in with his claws and beak and not letting go. I was wearing a strapless dress and couldn't reach him to get him off of me. I ran into the house, and he finally let go. I was so shocked by this resulting in mistrust and fear of him for the blood and scars he gave me that I won't hold him like before. I know he misses me. I have my mate interact and pick him up now occasionally biting him on his hand. We can't see any i indications for his actions. My bird and i still talk, sing and dance but I won't hold him, fearful of him, and I'm sure he can sense this too. Could my bird have decided he just doesn't love me like before?

    ​@toolbar2345, I think that your bird is jealous of your interaction with your mate. My Green Cheek Cinnamon Conure was very nice from 3 months to 2 years old; she'd always cuddle and play with me but when my daughter began visiting regularly, she began biting my daughter and then me. She'd bite very hard until she drew blood but recently her bites are not as hard and she doesn't draw blood. I'm still trying to stop her from biting. Sometimes she also bites my Orange Winged Amazon but he's a sweetheart and does not bite her or anyone; when she bites him, he runs or flies away from her.

    I always enjoyed taming adult captivity birds more than raising them from birth in your hands. More of a challenge but more rewarding. One good thing to learn in bites is to have good pain tolerance (atleast for small parrots) and to instead of pulling your hand away, push it closer to the bird while he bites or drop it a bit if he is on your hand, it will caught him off guard and release the hand and make him learn that biting is not useful in communicating with you.

    This is a well presented and useful video! I'm so glad you talk about how forming a bond, watching body language and not forcing behaviour is so important to helping to prevent biting (or generally just having a good relationship with your bird!) As you mentioned also, blowing, putting back in cage etc falls under punishment, which never works as its proven that parrots don't respond to it! Punishment just teaches fear or negativity. One other thing you can try to moderate bite force is target training from a distance. You hold the stick further away so they have to bite gently. Also the same with providing treats after, encouraging gentle grabbing of the treat.

    I'm not an expert, but any time a bird chooses you, you can feel very lucky! By the same token, because you are the most important person in his/her life, they can be pretty possessive. It's a good idea to have others start slowly bonding with the bird (watch some other videos on starting to tame) when you are not close by or in another room. It takes time and patience. And don't forget that each bird has its own personality, just like us. Some are more sociable with people, others are more introverted.

    I have 4 large Macaws, and biting is part of how they connect with us. Biting can be triggered when they are frightened, when they want to be left alone, when they want to wrestle and play, or simply when they want to preen me. It does take time to realize why your parrot bites, but it is a normal part of aviculture, so there is no reason to try and stop a normal reaction to a variety of emotional or physical triggers. The most important part of caring for any species of parrot, is to simply learn to read their body language, then most bites from 'fear-based triggers' can be reduced significantly.

    Macaws are prey animals, so feeling safe is most important to them. She feels scared when you try and get her to step down. If you give her time to feel safe, she will let you know when it is time to expand your trust with her. A Vietnam vet have me his 26 year old Harlequin Macaw shortly before he died of agent orange exposure. For 4 weeks I did not try and touch him, instead simply allowed him to grieve and process such a huge loss. After 4 weeks Carlos stepped up and we have been very close since that time. It is essential to respect their need for safety, and it can be very easy to stop the trust building process if you continue to pressure her to do what you want, just give her time. The video attached took four months of patience and giving Carlos time to adjust to his new home with us. kzread.info/dash/bejne/la1t25KootXKico.html

I make sure not to put her down right before walking out of the room (because if I did that every time then it might make sense) but I can’t have my Catalina Macaw on my arm 24/7. I have two other parrots that deserve one on one time too. Are you thinking that I meant step up? I don’t doubt that we are in the trust building stage, I understand her body language enough to know that. Are you suggesting not holding her for a few weeks and then maybe things will change? I don’t even have a cage for her yet so I’m only asking her to step down onto one of her two playstands.

    Great tips; also I’ve been able to use cue words that I know my bird understands for times when she might be thinking of nibbling which could turn into a bite, this puts her in her best mood and I use my voice to convey a calm gentle mood. It works as birds mirror our moods and behaviours which is why getting cross or angry at them doesn’t work.

    I remember using winter gloves when my bird was on my finger. Sometimes, she'll bite my fingers while stepping on them to keep herself from losing balance. Other times, she'll just do it for enjoyment. She knows I won't feel anything if she bites me when wearing gloves. I did mess with her as a kid by using one of the gloves for her to bite it when I covered her head with it. Kinda gave her a bad habit of biting back then. I stopped doing it when she got older though and tried to work on the stepping on my fingers without biting the gloves. I was kinda afraid that if I stopped wearing the gloves, she would bite me. So, I kept them on most of the time. Sometimes, I would have her climb on my shoulder. She wouldn't bite me there, but I still was afraid she would bite me while she was alive. We kinda had this sibling relationship with each other back then.

    I just found your account a couple days ago but I just want to say I love ur channel so much !! I've had my GCC for almost 3 years now, and we have a great relationship, but I want to start doing more training with her to keep her enriched. I've found that a lot of instructional videos don't understand the specificities of green cheek conures (like how they are just so beaky, and you can't just tell them to never use their beaks to climb, explore, etc.), and it also seems that a lot of people don't have quite as personal bonds with their parrots as I do with mine, but I can see that you do have that close bond with yours! love to see it :))) Also this video was super helpful in reminding me that even having a close bond with my bird doesn't mean that she'll never bite, and her biting doesn't automatically mean i'm a terrible owner. Like idk about you, but I tend to compare my bird's and my bond to the bonds that my friends have with their domesticated pets, and how "easily" biting is discouraged in those domesticated animals. But pets like cats and dogs can't really be compared to pet birds, since they're still 100% the same species as in the wild ! As you mentioned in the video, birds use their beaks in a huge number of ways, and while it's good to do what you can to prevent/discourage aggressive behaviors, their instincts will still take over when it comes to defending what they don't want you to touch (like my own computer keyboard lolol), or hormonal season. yayay GCC owners !!

    I'm definitely going to try the YIP and place method. The issue is, what if you have a bird that has no consistent triggers for bites, and gives no warning? One of my three rescues, after nearly two years, continues to be decently aggressive and just isn't safe around most people. She's even a bit rough with me even to this day...I know she isn't bad, but she's dive bombed my husbands face and will just randomly bite him. She'll be comfy on him, we feel safe and then, wham. The other two are mostly OK and these tips make sense for them; most of which I know. But what about the truly unpredictable, vicious biters? If you have advice on that, that'd be a life saver.

I call out to him to let him know that I'm not far, but it doesn't work. My husband gets so mad at him screaming. Do you have a video or will you make one with tips on how to help my birdie stop screaming so much when I leave the room? P.S.

    Make sure to teach him/her that being near you is a ""privilege"" (people on bird groups gave me this tip so in passing this on). Basically, when mine would bite me I'd leave her in the room or just remove her from my lap/shoulder for some minutes before accepting her back. (Yes, this breaks my heart too). This taught her that biting only makes me stay far from her so now she only vocalizes to me when something is wrong or just "bites" softly. But hey, your bird might also be biting out of nowhere due to instincts or even behavioral reasons so I'd search about this to know if there any way to help your bird stop or diminish this behaviour. All the luck!

Leave her treats at a distance that she can't bite. Fear and distrust must be overcome before expecting her to want to step up. Coax her every day and try to spend as much time with her as possible. If she comes into your room on her own already that's amazing. Let her on the bed. She will eventually be cuddling in their with you. Lots of luck.
