Thanks for the advice...I'm alittle nervous about getting a bigger bird, I know when our conure had to have a broken blood feather pulled he bit me hard,(it bruised) but I can't blame him, if somebody just plucked my feather out of my butt I'd be grumpy too!
Watson, our CAG, usually rides around on my husband's shoulder. He's never slipped. (He's 9 years old.) I don't let him get on my shoulder, although he will climb up my arm and get there. I always make him get down. I'm afraid he'll go after my ear because of my diamond stud earrings, which I almost always wear. He likes sparkly objects.
And yes, he will bite, and for no apparent reason. He has seldom bitten me, but my husband has had some bad bites. Breaks the skin. It happens less and less often, but I'm very wary of his tendency to do that. Nonetheless, we both still handle him a lot. I guess that compared with the times we hold him, the number of bites is not that significant. Still ...
BTW, good luck with your new bird. Nothing, except my children, has ever given me so much pleasure (or frustration :P .<br><br>Post edited by: Sticks_n_stones, at: 2007/03/05 20:29
Thank you..
An alternative to letting your grey on your shoulder would to just let it sit on your stomach, or knee.
