Post: we've been asdopted by a bitey bird

Posted by Zoe and Chris on 8/14/06

About two weeks ago a little love bird flew to our window
sill and started calling. He? stayed for 40 minutes before
we decided to keep him (we have a thirteen year old cat
too). Since then we have gotten him a large cage and let
him out a few times a day in the bedroom to fly about and
hang out with us. He's social and comes down on the bed and
lands on us, but won't let us touch him. He? is a green/
violet and about 6 inches tall and we have no idea how old
he? is, named him Rudy. Super sweet, he gets on a stick
with the "up up" command but won't let us pet him and loves
to chew on absolutely everything, including us. He doesn't
break the skin or leave a mark, I don't think he's angry
when he does it- but he's always doing it. We are trying to
train him with a water spritzer. We have just covered his
cage for the first time at night so he won't wake us up in
the early early morning. Any advice about his biteyness,
how to get to the petting stage or other issues of being
adopted by a lovebird? Thanks, Zoe and Chris
