Post: Biting Blue Crown Conure

Posted by Melody on 11/08/07

I need some help. I bought an 8 yr old BCC last week at the
bird store. He has issues and I felt so sorry for him I just
had to buy him. His name is Tommy and his original owner
died that owner's sister took Tommy and didn't care for him
properly and her daughters were allowed to torment him.
Because of the stress he started plucking so now he is
almost half bald. And he BITES!!!!! I really do love him and
want to help him but I need help how do I get him to trust
me. I can be holding him and for no apparent reason to me he
will start gnawing on my hand. Last night he drew blood
OUCH! Anybody have any tips out there?
