ok..take a look at this!
http://www.seishindo.org/newsl.....feeds.html
(scroll down a bit)
Ok, what kind of an idiot would teach a parrot to bite?! This guy obviously has birds like budgies or finches (finches aren't even parrots) or something. He's probably never even done this!!! It must be some stupid thing he came up with in his own mind and never tried it!!
It's mixing Karate training with parrot training!
I mean, I'm not going to sit with my hand in the cage and let the parrot chew the %&@$#^ out of my finger!
This is actually laughable. Some guy must have crippled hands.. 
It's also sad..those who belive it.. 
What do you think about this?

It looks a bit odd to me? Some training technics will try to put bad behavior under some kind of cue. If you can put it under a cue, you would also be able to forbid it?  |

You know, I might be the odd one out here, but I do think some of the technique can be used to curb biting.. how do I know? I've done it with Apollo. He bit me a lot after I left him for my holiday, I did some drastic thing to try to have my baby back and the only way I was able to stop him remotely thinking of biting me was to give him something to eat when he's attacking.. it may sounds like a reward, but somehow it stopped. He still does lunges at me and all that if he gets jealous of me or something, but that's not that often at all compared to before.
so I can totally see where this person is coming from. Like I said, I might be the odd one out here.  |

No, you're not the odd one out here Bih. It actually sounds to me like there is some logic to technique. |

I can see some of the ideas may work for some people but I can't imagine sitting there while a large parrot gnaws my fingers to bloody stumps. He must have had a bird smaller than a sennie but it would still REALLY hurt

You can always wear like a gardening glove or something, I'm not sure if they suggested that. Back in September when school started again and I had to leave Bunny first thing in the morning for longer than usual compared to the summer, she started getting really cranky and nippy towards me. So Everytime I was picking her up I'd just put a sock over my hand, and then she wouldn't bite, or if she did it wouldn't hurt me. |

Hey Bih... I've been meaning to ask you - I've talked with another SB owner too about this, and am curious to see how Apollo is. Although Apollo's beak is big and strong, do you find that he doesn't easily draw blood because of the unusual shape of their beaks? Since they bite at the tip instead of where there is more leverage like other parrots? Know what I mean? Actually, I just thought of this... I think Apollo's (Western's) beaks are a little more "normal" shaped than Eastern's like Starion, and my guess is that he can probably bite and draw blood more easily than an Eastern? Although that's not to say I would mess with a mad Eastern! |
