Re: My Male Sun flys and bites my feet, terrible two's??
Posted by Debbie on 12/07/06

Sorry nobody has posted and I have been watching because I'm
not really sure of what to say unless maybe he thinks your
toes are his to have and hold! HA
My green cheeks arent like that but I do have a Congo that I
adopted in May that goes after MENS toes but not mine. Is
there a way you can clip its wings (just a little) to maybe
slow it down till it gets over this time if it is just its
hormones? Thats a good age for them to kick in and some
birds do weird stuff during that time too. I hope someone
else helps so maybe we can both learn something new.
