Post: Need advice w/ Senegal

Posted by ChrisNY on 5/04/05

Hello, I hope you guys can give me some tips. I have a
3y/o male Sennie, we've had him since he was weaned. He is
more attached to my husband than me, though he will allow
me to scratch his head and hold him (if he is brought to me
by my husband). He also mimics me the most.
The problem is that lately when he goes to step up he puts
out his foot and initiates the step up, like he wants to
see me. This happens near his cage or even in another room
on a perch. As soon as he is on my hand he viciously bites
me and WON'T LET GO! I immediatly drop my hand to the
floor (with him still on his death grip) until he lets go.
I know your not supposed to react but this freaking hurts,
he is drawing blood and I have open wounds all over my left
hand. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Chris
