Re: What do you do about biting
Posted by MKay on 1/05/06

Kristine, quakers are one of the species that are notorious for
choosing one person and "tolerating" the others, if that. I have
only met 2 or 3 quakers that will go to anyone. We're working with
one of our own young ones to try to get him to be welcoming to all
that approach him. It's a challenge! He loves my daughter--that's
her bird, and will come to me with some coaxing. His dad will go to
nobody but me. Everyone else will be bitten-hard-if they try to
handle him.

Good luck with this one! The earthquake method, with a firm "NO!"
really did work for us.
