| He's out to get me! Killer Parrot! |
 |
|
I have this problem with one of our parrot, don't really know what to call his species in english but anyway he is literally as I said above in the subject, out to get me! I remember a time he used to sleep undir my shirt and liked me ok, yet know he attacks me every time I get close to him, really biting hard, so hard I am afraid to come close to him. It doesnt end here, he even puts out the effort to walk(clipped wing feathers.) great distances(for him at least.) just to attack me and drive me away! Then when someone takes him away he just pads over again and does it all over again! What can I do? Someone help please I really do have a killer parrot out to get me! Well I really want to makes friends with him again. Someone please help!!  |

Please note that I am not an avian behaviorist at all..
What do you do when you walk into the room? (Do you go to the cage right away?) Do you let your parrot come out of his cage himself?
It's best NOT to give your parrot direct eye contact or any attention when you enter the room..
Just ignore him and draw his attention with something you do..
Please read this page

Try not to make a 'drama' out of him biting.. (I know this is HARD!) He might find it funny that you react on his biting.
Please let me know if this works.. |

I have been ignoring him for a long time now since he always attacks me if I try to come close to him. I just tried to take him from his cage but that's impossible since he bites my hand every time and then I mean hard, really hard! So I just tried letting him come out himself and tried just to be kind to him and give him some treats, he wouldn't bite then just take the treat and reatreat to the corner. Then when I showed him the same hand again he would bite it. Nothing I did had any impact on him so it ended up with me having to throw a towel over him to get him into the cage again. Wasnt up for a trip to the hospital to get a technis shot. He also seems afraid of me. |

I also tought of trying that stick training but the thing is he just doesnt bite me when I reach for him he goes for the fingers or my face if he sees it. As I said walking great distances just to attack me. I'm the only one in the family he attacks like this, he's a spoiled little cuddle doll with all the others! |

Has he got a favorite person in the house? Is he breeding age? He might be jelous over a person he sees as his mate, If it's breeding related he will go through it most years going back to normal in between breeding seasons. |

What kind of parrot do you have? An amazon, an african grey? What age is he/she? Is he male or female? How long do you have him/her? Many parrots make a game out of biting, they like to manipulate their humans. Especially because he was so cuddly in the beginning. I have an amazon here, who had a biting problem when he was with his first family. They had him since he was a baby, but they were a little afraid of him, and he started trying if he could bite. Afterwards he was terrorizing his owners. Then he was adopted by my friend, who trained him not to bite. But then Leo discovered that there was some tension, and that his new owners were sensitive to the effects of Leo's screeching. So Leo screeched from sunrise until sunset. Now he's here, and he proves to be quite a timid parrot! So... to help you, I think we need some more information... |
