Re: Baby Amazon Bite!!!
Posted by Bird Mom on 8/03/06

No, being bitten by a bird ( young or old ) isn't at all
strange or unusual. Unfortunally biting is something that
birds do, weather we like it or not & the sooner you realize
& accept that fact the more you will understand how/why
birds act/react to certain situations. You are the one that
needs to learn how to "read" your birds moods & actions to
prevent being bitten. Some birds are cute & cuddly, but the
majority of birds ( esp. the larger breeds & rehomed birds )
are not. So don't try to force your attentions on any bird
when he/she is in a hyper, mad or upset mood. It's just a
bird thing, so educate yourself more about reading their
moods & actions so you'll know when to leave them alone to
prevent being nailed ( beaked/bitten ) by your bird.

Sincerely,
Birdmom
