Post: Just starting to bite

Posted by alexmiota on 3/07/11

I have a 3 year old umbrella cockatoo. When I got her 3
months ago she was very sweet and I could trust her. Now
that my wife has been taking care of her during the day
when I am at work she has taken to biting me sometimes very
hard. She can be a real sweetheart but then turn into a
devil bird and I would very much like to deal with this
problem before it gets worse. Is there anything I can do to
keep her from acting this way toward me. I have never been
afraid of birds but this one now makes me uneasy. I am not
afraid of her but have to be on my toes and watch her like
a hawk now that she has gotten unpredictable with me..
