Re: biting
Posted by KarenH on 1/18/06

Is he biting because he's trying to get away? If he's biting
while trying to get away, he's scared and needs to be handled
very gently and more often to let him know that you're not
going to hurt him.

Was he handfed?
Could you hold him the day you brought him home?

I ask the above questions because if a lovebird is handfed and
not handled regularly, they're not very tame at all and you
may never have a bird who likes to be held.
