Sorry count me out for now, I have not been bitten YET, this is one club I do not want to join.:P
Hi All,
Since I have a track record of late, at receiving Bites while completely minding my own business.:evil: I have been asked to be the CEO of a new Start-Up called "The Parrot Bite Me Club". :woohoo:
So as most of you have probably read already, of my expert level mastery of consistently receiving Bites Daily, lets hear your adventures in biting!!

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.

Very Nice Dan! Thank-you for this. This ought to be filled with lots of great stories,
Talon does bite on occasion, if you ignore her while she is on you. But my best story is how one time when I had just gotten out of the shower, she flew onto my bare shoulder and landed SHARP talons and all, if that wasn't enough to yell "OUCH!", she proceeded to, in one quick swipe........rip BOTH my diamond studded earrings out of my ear, and into her beak! That was quite a feat for her, and a painful one for me!!!

Not a bad one at that! I did spend 90 minutes playing with Dayo and others while the "Loner from Hell" stood lurking on the sidelines :woohoo:I am bite free for three days straight!
Maybe he's not biting you when you're minding your own businessMaybe he feels left out? Just an idea.
Just waiting for me to try and be nice to him :S

I am mostly bit when Vinnie doesn't want to get down from something, say his playstand. So I use a perch, and then I can put him on my hand every time. I talked to his vet who said her amazon bites whenever she picks up one of his round toys. So she stopped picking up the round toys. The trick is to isolate when and why he bites, then stop giving them that opportunity. I know, easier said than done!
In all seriousness, this is a great example of cause and effect. Your great tip is one that we all need to pay heed to and watch for the smallest clues.
That's one for the mental Notes :-)
Karma + for you!!

Can I join the club? Talon's bitten me LOTS of times. A lot of times it's when I want her to step-up, but she won't. Sometimes I fall for the "sucker-punch' when she pretends she wants to step-up, then bites you!inch:
I have gotten bitten by my horse, too. Once he bit my finger so hard, I have a scar now! :blink:
